Modern General Relativity: Black Holes, Gravitational Waves, and Cosmology Van Mike Guidry is an English-language textbook that makes the theory of general relativity accessible for higher education. The book combines an example-driven approach with applications in modern cosmology and astrophysics.
This textbook covers the foundations of general relativity and addresses current topics such as black holes, gravitational waves, and gamma-ray bursts. Due to the mathematical self-contained nature and hundreds of worked examples and exercises, it is suitable for both teaching and self-study.
Modern general relativity is presented here in relation to important developments in the science of gravity and the universe. This book connects with fields such as relativity physics, cosmology, and space science.
