Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation by Michael V Berry
General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. Moreover, general relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics. Covering the fundamentals of the subject, Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation describes the universe as revealed by observations and presents a theoretical framework to enable important cosmological formulae to be derived and numerical calculations performed. Avoiding elaborate formal discussions, the book presents a practical approach that focuses on the general theory of relativity. It examines different evolutionary models and the gravitational effects of massive bodies. The book also includes a large number of worked examples and problems, half with solutions.
"… very successful introduction and treatment … exceptionally methodical … deserves to be read and recommended as an introduction… I recommended this book in 1976 and I will continue to do so." -Space Science Reviews "… an ideal text for undergraduates studying cosmology …" -Europe and Astronomy
