Relativity and Cosmology: From First Principles to Interpretations provides a high-quality and highly relevant astrophysics grounding for senior undergraduate students. This comprehensive textbook emphasizes an illustrative, pedagogical approach and aims to strike a balance between the breadth and depth of the material presented, frequently tying new material – relativistic mechanics and gravity – to the classical mechanics and gravity with which readers are more familiar. It includes robust content and corresponding exercises, figures, and appendices on many exciting developments, including relativistic mechanics; Newtonian classical mechanics; relativistic spacetime; special relativity; general relativity; tensor calculus; cosmology; Einstein’s field equations; dark matter; dark energy; and black holes.
This accessible edition delivers helpful and engaging additions to the role and importance of physics in cosmology and relativity. It is ideal for courses in physics, astrophysics, astronomy, and related subjects.
Introduces practical, mathematical approaches for applying fundamental concepts in relativity and cosmology
Places an emphasis on illustrative pedagogical approaches with applied examples
Strikes a balance between the breadth and depth of the material presented, frequently tying the new material – including relativistic mechanics and gravity – to the classical mechanics and gravity with which readers may be more familiar
Includes numerous figures, examples, illustrative problems, and appendices which provide convenient access to the important physics concepts used in the text
Offers online support, including a full solutions manual for qualified instructors and additional programming resources (PowerPoints and Python files)
