"This book is a classic and easily the best way for students learning general relativity to get experience doing problems. A wide variety of topics are covered and extensive solutions are given to the insightfully formulated exercises. This is a wonderful tool for becoming an expert in a beautiful subject." --Sean Carroll, author of Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity

Synopsis
Important and useful to every student of relativity, this book is a unique collection of some 475 problems--with solutions--in the fields of special and general relativity, gravitation, relativistic astrophysics, and cosmology. The problems are expressed in broad physical terms to enhance their pertinence to readers with diverse backgrounds. In their solutions, the authors have attempted to convey a mode of approach to these kinds of problems, revealing procedures that can reduce the labor of calculations while avoiding the pitfall of too much or too powerful formalism. Although well suited for individual use, the volume may also be used with one of the modem textbooks in general relativity., An essential resource for learning about general relativity and much more, from four leading experts Important and useful to every student of relativity, this book is a unique collection of some 475 problems--with solutions--in the fields of special and general relativity, gravitation, relativistic astrophysics, and cosmology.

    If you can work some or all the problems you mst have a PhD. in Physics...

    It's all in here for you to rack your brain then find a worked out solution... What a relief... Probably the best source of problems & solutions for any range of relativity you might come across... Just have to get somewhat familiar with the notation as presented in this cornucopia of problems... In 45 to 50 yr publication range but still has enough to challenge even the brightest beginner or experienced navigator of this material... The four authors know their stuff... No question of that...
