Limited by its scope and avoiding as much as possible the use of mathematical apparatus, the authors try to clarify the most fundamental ideas and concepts.
Both authors hold a deep reverence for Galileo and Einstein, and this book is dedicated to these two great scientists. Pedagogical introduction to numerical relativity for students and researchers entering the field, and interested scientists. This unique textbook provides an accessible introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity, a subject of breathtaking beauty and supreme importance in physics.
With his trademark blend of wit and incisiveness, A. Zee guides readers from the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics to the most exciting frontiers of research today, including de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spacetimes, Kaluza-Klein theory, and brane worlds. Unlike other books on Einstein gravity, this book emphasizes the action principle and group theory as guides in constructing physical theories.
Zee treats various topics in a spiral style that is easy on beginners, and includes anecdotes from the history of physics that will appeal to students and experts alike. He takes a friendly approach to the required mathematics, yet does not shy away from more advanced mathematical topics such as differential forms.
The extensive discussion of black holes includes rotating and extremal black holes and Hawking radiation. The ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell also provides an essential resource for professional physicists and is accessible to anyone familiar with classical mechanics and electromagnetism. It features numerous exercises as well as detailed appendices covering a multitude of topics not readily found elsewhere.
Provides an accessible introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity Guides readers from Newtonian mechanics to the frontiers of modern research Emphasizes symmetry and the Einstein-Hilbert action Covers topics not found in standard textbooks on Einstein gravity Includes interesting historical asides Features numerous exercises and detailed appendices Ideal for students, physicists, and scientifically minded lay readers Solutions manual available only to teachers.
We are presented with a multifaceted, interpretive effort to understand in novel terms Einstein's science, music, and politics, his relationship to God and aesthetics, and his unusual position at the divide between a now-vanished world and a future that will surely retain deep traces of his unique contributions and personality. Buchwald, Einstein Papers Project, Caltech "Whether serendipitously or by design, many of us have found ourselves involved in some aspect of Einstein's multifaceted legacy.
This far-reaching volume of personal essays clarifies why Einstein's persona has been so seductive and so meaningful to us all. This is a generous book, rich with detail. There are so many fine and interesting contributions that there is something for nearly every potential reader.
Starting from simpler and more general considerations, it goes on to detail the latest developments in the field and considers several cutting-edge research areas. First Published in An introduction to the life and scientific achievements of Einstein includes coverage of such topics as his successful proof of the existence of atoms and his contributions to launching quantum mechanics, in a volume complemented by educational activity suggestions and science projects.
Compatible with any devices. The Theory of Special Relativity is one of the most profound discoveries of the twentieth century. Seven by Einstein, two by Lorentz, one each by Minkowski and Weyl…. Biographies of Albert Einstein He participated in the relativity congress in Bern that took place on July 11, , celebrating 50 years of the special theory of relativity.
He writes about it in his book and gives a list of participants. Legally distributed via our popular eBook Library for your peace of mind. Skip to content. This page contains PDF versions of the 9.
