This book is a compilation of the lectures for a
one-semester course on gravitation at the University of Rochester.
Starting from a simple description of geometry, the topics are
systematically developed to the big bang theory with a simple
derivation of the cosmic background temperature. Several informative
examples are worked out in detail as well.
Contents:
- Basics of Geometry and Relativity
- Relativistic Dynamics
- Principle of General Covariance
- Affine Connection and Covariant Derivative
- Geodesic Equation
- Applications of the Geodesic Equation
- Curvature Tensor and Einstein's Equation
- Schwarzschild Solution
- Tests of General Relativity
- Black Holes
- Cosmological Models and the Big Bang Theory
