Starting from a detailed discussion of the various mathematical concepts for doing general relativity, the book introduces the geometric description of gravity. It gives a brief historical perspective to classical mechanics and electrodynamics making an attempt to establish the necessity of special relativity as propounded by Einstein extending to General Relativity. This book is a good starting point for post graduates wanting to pursue the modern topics of Cosmology, High energy astrophysics and related areas--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aGravitation 606 $aGeneral relativity (Physics) 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 676 $a521/.1 700 $aPrasanna$b A.
