Synopsis
Geared toward mathematically sophisticated readers with a solid background in differential geometry, this text was written by two noted teachers at the University of California, Berkeley. It offers a firm foundation in the principles of general relativity, particularly in terms of singularity theorems and the quantization of gravity.
Starting with preliminaries that include notation, physics background, and a preview of relativity, the text advances to spacetimes and observers. A three-part treatment of electromagnetism and matter progresses from basic concepts to interactions and other matter models. Subsequent chapters explore the Einstein field equation, photons, cosmology, and applications. Exercises appear at the end of each section, and the text concludes with optional drills offering further explorations of relativity and Newtonian analogues.
