OverviewThis study edition, which concentrates on the physical content of Einstein's theory of relativity, is intended for students of physics, astrophysics and mathematics. The mathematical background of modern differential geometry is kept to a minimum and serves mainly as a reference for the reader unfamiliar with Cartan's co-ordinate-free calculus, which is used throughout the text. The author discusses the equivalence principle and the field equations together with their experimental support by recent observations. The book concludes with an analysis of modern astrophysics. It analyzes the Kerr-Newman solutions, gravitational collapse, the cooling of neutron stars, radio sources and black holes.
