Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology by Ta-Pei Cheng

Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology by Ta-Pei Cheng

This book provides an introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity. A physics-first approach is adopted so that interesting applications come before the more difficult task of solving the Einstein equation. The book includes extensive coverage of cosmology, and is designed to allow readers to study the subject alone.

Review from previous edition This is a great time to have published a fresh new undergraduate text on relativity and cosmology..this is an excellent textbook which this reviewer would rate as the text of choice for a course on relativity and cosmology aimed at physics and astronomy undergraduates. * American Journal of Physics *
