Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Basel / Boston / Berlin: Birkhäuser, 2009. NOT print on demand. We have only this one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. The cover is in NEAR FINE condition, with only a little minor shelfwear. NEW and unread inside. NO owner's name or bookplate. Bound in the original blue laminated boards, lettered in bright white. From the author's Preface: "This is an introductory book on the general theory of relativity based partly on lectures given to students of M.Sc. Physics at my university. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a preliminary course on general relativity with minimum preparation. The second part builds the mathematical background and the third part deals with topics where mathematics developed in the second part is needed. The first chapter gives a general background and introduction. This is foilowed by an introduction to curvature through Gauss' Theorema Egregium. This theorem expresses the curvature of a two-dimensional surface in terms of intrinsic quantities related to the infinitesimal distance function on the surface. The student is introduced to the metric tensor, Christoffel symbols and Riemann curvature tensor by elementary methods in the familiar and visualizable case of two dimensions. This early introduction to geometric quantities equips a student to learn simpler topics in general relativity like the Newtonian limit, red shift, the Schwarzschild solution, precession of the perihelion and bending of light in a gravitational feld. Part II (chapters 5 to 10) is an introduction to Riemannian geometry as required by general relativity. This is done from the beginning, starting with vectors and tensors. I believe that students of physics grasp physical concepts better if they are not shaky about the mathematics involved.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine - New condition/No dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xiv, 355pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Shopbeschreibung

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
