商品描述

This book systematically develops the mathematical foundations of the theory of relativity and links them to physical relations. For this purpose, differential geometry on manifolds is introduced first, including differentiation and integration, and special relativity is presented as tensor calculus on tangential spaces. Using Einstein's field equations relating curvature to matter, the relativistic effects in the solar system including black holes are discussed in detail.

The text is aimed at students of physics and mathematics and assumes only basic knowledge of classical differential and integral calculus and linear algebra.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書系統地發展了相對論的數學基礎並將其與物理關係相關聯。為此,首先介紹了流形上的微分幾何,包括微分和積分,並將特殊相對論作為切空間上的張量計算呈現。利用愛因斯坦的場方程將曲率與物質相關聯,詳細討論了太陽系中的相對論效應,包括黑洞。

本書針對物理和數學專業的學生,僅假設具備基本的經典微分和積分計算以及線性代數知識。
