This landmark text offers a rigorous full-year graduate level course on gravitation physics, teaching students to:
• Grasp the laws of physics in flat spacetime
• Predict orders of magnitude
• Calculate using the principal tools of modern geometry
• Predict all levels of precision
• Understand Einstein's geometric framework for physics
• Explore applications, including pulsars and neutron stars, cosmology, the Schwarzschild geometry and gravitational collapse, and gravitational waves
• Probe experimental tests of Einstein's theory
• Tackle advanced topics such as superspace and quantum geometrodynamics

The book offers a unique, alternating two-track pathway through the subject:
• In many chapters, material focusing on basic physical ideas is designated as
Track 1. These sections together make an appropriate one-term advanced/graduate level course (mathematical prerequisites: vector analysis and simple partial-differential equations). The book is printed to make it easy for readers to identify these sections.
• The remaining Track 2 material provides a wealth of advanced topics instructors can draw from to flesh out a two-term course, with Track 1 sections serving as prerequisites.

32 customers mention comprehensiveness, 26 positive, 6 negative

Customers praise the book's comprehensive approach to explaining General Relativity, with one customer noting it provides a two-year course's worth of material, while another highlights its detailed coverage of tensor and relativity knowledge.

...Since then Gravitation has become a unique resource for anyone interested in learning general relativity and spacetime physics....Read more

Beautiful. Loaded with insight. MTW would be worth every pound at twice the price.Read more

...It's 1200 pages-- very dense, very comprehensive, and worth every penny.Read more

Excellent dissertation on the explanation of time and gravitation. PhD level book. Advanced Mathematics so be prepared.Read more

31 customers mention content, 29 positive, 2 negative

Customers find this book to be an excellent textbook in general relativity, with one customer noting it does a good job motivating the material, and another mentioning that Section 21.4 is particularly well-written.

This is the book that defines the subject of Gravitation.Read more

...version is a little out of date on the newest theories, but still a great resource.Read more

...The material is very comprehensive, perhaps too comprehensive. Nevertheless, it is a very good reference book.Read more

...Given the overall good content, the bang for the buck is fantastic....Read more

14 customers mention value for money, 9 positive, 5 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the book's value, with some finding it worth the money while others consider it expensive.

...Chapters 8 through 14 are all excellent and worth the price of the book, in my opinion. Chapter 12 on Newton-Cartan theory is superb....Read more

Heavy, expensive book. Fully padded for shipping. Thank you! This review is obviously for the seller....Read more

...For me, it is slow going, but very much worth the effort. I am still at the beginning of the book and I am enjoying the physics.Read more

...It's 1200 pages-- very dense, very comprehensive, and worth every penny.Read more

Sorry, there was a problem.
