Einstein’s general theory of relativity requires a curved space for the description of the physical world. If one wishes to go beyond superficial discussions of the physical relations involved, one needs to set up precise equations for handling curved space. The well-established mathematical technique that accomplishes this is clearly described in this classic book by Nobel Laureate P.A.M. Dirac. Based on a series of lectures given by Dirac at Florida State University, and intended for the advanced undergraduate, General Theory of Relativity comprises thirty-five compact chapters that take the reader point-by-point through the necessary steps for understanding general relativity.

  • The Wave Basis of Special Relativity
    Robert Close
    This book offers a simple, intuitive explanation of special relativity. Rather than merely describing the implications of Einstein’s postulates, we derive the consequences of special relativity from the wavelike behavior of matter, which is consistent with ordinary physical processes in Galilean spacetime. Topics covered include time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transf...
