General Relativity And Gravitational Waves

An internationally famous physicist and electrical engineer, the author of this text was a pioneer in the investigation of gravitational waves. His ever-relevant treatment of the subject, appropriate for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, presents a brief but thorough introduction to the foundations of general relativity, as well as applicable elements of Riemannian geometry and tensor calculus. Approximately a quarter of the contents explores theoretical and experimental aspects of gravitational radiation, and the final chapter focuses on selected topics related to general relativity. 1961 ed. Exercises. Index.Weber, J. is the author of 'General Relativity And Gravitational Waves', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486438870 and ISBN 0486438872.
