In late 1971 DeWitt gave a course on gravitation at Stanford University, leaving almost 400 pages of detailed handwritten notes. Written with clarity and authority, and edited by his former student Steven Christensen, these timeless lecture notes, containing material or expositions not found in any other textbooks, are a gem to be discovered or re-discovered by anyone seriously interested in the study of gravitational physics.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;826GravitationPhysicsDifferential geometryClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Differential Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022Gravitation.Physics.Differential geometry.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Differential Geometry.521/.1DeWitt Bryceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut46279Christensen Steven Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK996466710303316Bryce DeWitt's Lectures on Gravitation855580UNISA
