Topics within relativity that fascinate astrophysics researchers and students alike are covered with Schutz's characteristic ease and authority, from black holes to relativistic objects, from pulsars to the study of the Universe as a whole. This third edition contains discoveries by astronomers that require general relativity for their explanation; two chapters on gravitational waves, including direct detections of gravitational waves and the impact of their observation on cosmological measurements; new information on black holes and neutron stars; and greater insight into the expansion of the Universe. Over 300 exercises, many new to this edition, give students the confidence to work with general relativity and the necessary mathematics, while the informal writing style and worked examples make the subject matter easily accessible"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a General relativity (Physics) 650 0 $a Astrophysics. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schutz, Bernard Frederick, 1946- $t First course in general relativity $b Third edition $d New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781108610865 $w (DLC) 2022010275 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717025455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4CDC6CF8D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
