About this product
Product Information
Aimed at advanced undergraduates with background knowledge of classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism, this textbook presents both the particle dynamics relevant to general relativity, and the field dynamics necessary to understand the theory. Focusing on action extremization, the book develops the structure and predictions of general relativity by analogy with familiar physical systems. Topics ranging from classical field theory to minimal surfaces and relativistic strings are covered in a homogeneous manner. Nearly 150 exercises and numerous examples throughout the textbook enable students to test their understanding of the material covered. A tensor manipulation package to help students overcome the computational challenge associated with general relativity is available on a site hosted by the author. A link to this and to a solutions manual can be found at www.cambridge.org/9780521762458.

Reviews
"The book is beautifully illustrated. Important equations are framed so that they can be easily found. The text is both informal and precise, and the mathematics is very explicit and hence easy to follow. Together with the approach of introducing geometric concepts early (in Newtonian mechanics) and not only when they cannot be avoided anymore (in general relativity), the didactic approach of this book can be considered a full success and will be very helpful for every student with an interest in learning general relativity." Thomas Peters, Contemporary Physics, "Franklin's book is an excellent addition to the literature, and its readability and explicitness will be appreciated by the target audience. Should I be teaching an introductory undergraduate class in general relativity in the near future, I would seriously consider this book for the main class text." Jorma Louko, Classical and Quantum Gravity, 'The style is informal and very readable, with detailed explanations, frequent summaries of what has been achieved and pointers to what is about to follow … The author negotiates the challenge between readability and technical accuracy with admirable skill, striking a balance that will be much appreciated by the target audience. … Overall, Franklin's book is an excellent addition to the literature, and its readability and explicitness will be appreciated by the target audience. Should I be teaching an introductory undergraduate class in general relativity in the near future, I would seriously consider this book for the main class text.' Classical and Quantum Gravity

Marketing perfection! Received exactly as described, better to be honest! Packaged securly and arrived as indicted. And, what a LOVELY purchasing note attached w/a gift! So very thoughtful! Thank you! I absolutely would recommend this seller and I will be a repeat customer! Thanks so much! Additionally, I had been searching for a 1st Ed/HC of this specific title (for awhile), that wouldn’t cost me a kidney! Thank you for negotiating a fair price! I cannot wait to dive into this read!
