商品描述

Einstein's theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that students find fascinating – black holes, warped spacetime, gravitational waves, and cosmology. One of the pioneers of the 'physics-first' approach to the subject, renowned relativist James B. Hartle, recognized that there is typically not enough time in a short introductory course for the traditional, mathematics-first, approach. In this text, he provides a fluent and accessible physics-first introduction to general relativity that begins with the essential physical applications and uses a minimum of new mathematics. This market-leading text is ideal for a one-semester course for undergraduates, with only introductory mechanics as a prerequisite.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

愛因斯坦的廣義相對論是現代物理學的基石。它還涉及許多學生覺得迷人的主題——黑洞、扭曲的時空、引力波和宇宙學。著名的相對論專家詹姆斯·B·哈特爾（James B. Hartle）是「物理優先」方法的先驅之一，他認識到在短期的入門課程中，傳統的數學優先方法通常沒有足夠的時間來教授。在這本書中，他提供了一個流暢且易於理解的物理優先的廣義相對論入門，從基本的物理應用開始，並使用最少的新數學。這本市場領先的教材非常適合本科生的一學期課程，前提條件僅需具備入門力學的知識。
