A college course on relativity and cosmology /Ta-Pei Cheng. - 1st ed. - Oxford, United Kingdom ;Oxford University Press,2015. - xii, 292 p. :ill. ;25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Special relativity : the new kinematics -- Special relativity : flat spacetime -- Equivalence of gravitationand inertia -- General relativity as a geometric theory of gravity -- Einstein equation and its spherical solution -- Black holes -- The general relativistic framework for cosmology -- Big bang thermal relics -- Inflation and the accelerating universe --Tensor formalism for general relativity -- Appendix A: Keys to review questions -- Appendix B: Hints for selected exercises -- Appendix C: Glossary of symbols and acronyms.

"This advanced undergraduate text introduces Einstein's generaltheory of relativity. The topics covered include geometric formulation of special relativity, the principle of equivalence, Einstein's field equation and its spherically symmetrical solution, as well as cosmology. An emphasis is place on physical examples and simple applications without the full tensor apparatus. It begins by examining the physics of the equivalence principle and looks at how it inspired Einstein's idea of curved spacetime as the gravitational field. At a more mathematically accessible level, it provides a metric description of a warped space, allowing the reader to study many interesting phenomena such as gravitational time dilation, GPS operation, light deflection, precession of Mercury's perihelion, and black holes. Numerous modern topics in cosmology are discussed from primordialinflation and cosmic microwave background to the dark energy thatpropels an accelerating universe"--
