Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the mathematical algorithms essential to understanding Einstein's theories of relativity. It assumes no prior knowledge of the calculus of tensors used in general relativity, and can prepare readers to tackle more advanced works. It begins with vectors and transformations, using the language of geometry to support the reader's intuition, and then proceeds to develop concepts such as contravariant and covariant tensors. The author gives an insightful new definition of tensors using bilinear and quadratic forms. The ideas and insights of the book have been central to the development of general relativity, which has revolutionized our understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
