This method allows the complete theory to be constructed starting from a small number of assumptions, and is the most natural approach in modern theoretical physics. The book begins by reviewing Newtonian mechanics and Newtonian gravity with the Lagrangian formalism and the principle of least action, and then moves to special and general relativity. Most calculations are presented step by step, as is done on the board in class. The book covers recent advances in gravitational wave astronomy and provides a general overview of current lines of research in gravity. It also includes numerous examples and problems in each chapter. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 676 $a530.11 700 $aBambi$b Cosimo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0799778 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300536003321 996 $aIntroduction to General Relativity$92529856 997 $aUNINA
