商品描述
This unique textbook provides an accessible introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity, a subject of breathtaking beauty and supreme importance in physics. With his trademark blend of wit and incisiveness, A. Zee guides readers from the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics to the most exciting frontiers of research today, including de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes, Kaluza-Klein theory, and brane worlds. Unlike other books on Einstein gravity, this book emphasizes the action principle and group theory as guides in constructing physical theories. Zee treats various topics in a spiral style that is easy on beginners, and includes anecdotes from the history of physics that will appeal to students and experts alike. He takes a friendly approach to the required mathematics, yet does not shy away from more advanced mathematical topics such as differential forms. The extensive discussion of black holes includes rotating and extremal black holes and Hawking radiation. The ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell also provides an essential resource for professional physicists and is accessible to anyone familiar with classical mechanics and electromagnetism. It features numerous exercises as well as detailed appendices covering a multitude of topics not readily found elsewhere.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本獨特的教科書提供了一個易於理解的愛因斯坦廣義相對論入門,這是一個在物理學中具有驚人美感和極端重要性的主題。A. Zee以其標誌性的機智和深刻見解,指導讀者從牛頓力學的基本原理出發,探索當今最令人興奮的研究前沿,包括德西特(de Sitter)和反德西特(anti-de Sitter)時空、卡魯扎-克萊因(Kaluza-Klein)理論以及膜世界(brane worlds)。與其他關於愛因斯坦重力的書籍不同,本書強調作用原理和群論作為構建物理理論的指導。Zee以螺旋式的風格處理各種主題,對初學者友好,並包含物理學歷史中的趣聞,吸引學生和專家。他對所需的數學採取友好的態度,但也不迴避更高級的數學主題,如微分形式。對黑洞的廣泛討論包括旋轉黑洞、極限黑洞和霍金輻射。Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell是本科生和研究生的理想教科書,同時也是專業物理學家的重要資源,對任何熟悉經典力學和電磁學的人都很容易理解。書中包含大量練習題以及詳細的附錄,涵蓋許多在其他地方不易找到的主題。
