The content is structured so that interesting applications, such as gravitational lensing, black holes and cosmology, can be presented without the readers having to first learn the difficult mathematics of tensor calculus. The mathematical accessibility and the presentation of the book make it practical for readers to study the subject on their. own. - ;Einstein's general theory of relativity is introduced in this advanced undergraduate and beginning gradu 410 0$aOxford master series in physics ;$v11. 410 0$aOxford master series in physics.$pParticle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. 606 $aGeneral relativity (Physics)$vTextbooks 606 $aSpace and time 606 $aGravity 606 $aCosmology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 615 0$aSpace and time. 615 0$aGravity. 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a530.11 700 $aCheng$b Ta-Pei$053500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451466503321 996 $aRelativity, gravitation, and cosmology$9248701 997 $aUNINA
