In particular cosmology and gravitational wave physics are at the focus of a great deal of current research. Thus it is important to introduce students to General Relativity as soon as reasonable. This textbook offers a brief but comprehensive treatment accessible to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and any physicist or mathematician interested in understanding the material in a short time. The author, an experienced teacher of the subject, has included numerous examples and exercises to help students consolidate the ideas they have learned. 001434461 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 5, 2021). 001434461 650_0 $$aGeneral relativity (Physics) 001434461 650_0 $$aCosmology. 001434461 650_0 $$aGravitation. 001434461 650_0 $$aMathematical physics. 001434461 650_6 $$aRelativité générale (Physique) 001434461 650_6 $$aCosmologie. 001434461 650_6 $$aGravitation. 001434461 650_6 $$aPhysique mathématique. 001434461 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434461 77608 $$z3030615731 001434461 830_0 $$aGraduate texts in physics.$$x1868-4513 001434461 852__ $$bebk 001434461 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-61574-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434461 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434461$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434461 980__ $$aBIB 001434461 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434461 982__ $$aEbook 001434461 983__ $$aOnline 001434461 994__ $$a92$$bISE
