It can be used either as an introduction to the subject at a high school level or as a useful compass for undergraduates who want to move the first steps towards Einstein's theories. The book is enhanced throughout with many useful exercises and beautiful illustrations to aid understanding. The topics covered include: Lorentz transformations, length contraction and time dilation, the twin paradox (and other paradoxes), Minkowski spacetime, the Einstein equivalence principle, curvature of space and spacetime, geodesics, parallel transport, Einstein?s equations of general relativity, black holes, wormholes, cosmology, gravitational waves, time machines, and much more. 606 $aRelativity (Physics)$vPopular works 606 $aRelativity (Physics)$vProblems, exercises, etc 606 $aGravitation 606 $aMechanics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aClassical Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21018 615 0$aRelativity (Physics) 615 0$aRelativity (Physics) 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aClassical Mechanics. 676 $a530.1 676 $a530.11 700 $aMayerson$b Daniel R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01050672 702 $aCharles$b Anthony M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGolec$b Joseph E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373932703321 996 $aRelativity$92480652 997 $aUNINA
