‘The approach in the book is unique, and especially valuable for the student first encountering general relativity. It shows in detail the computational steps involved in gaining the main results.’
Cosmology, Relativity and Gravitation
Rainer Weiss, Nobel laureate; Professor Emeritus at MIT
Sir James Hough OBE FRS FRSE General relativity is a subject that most undergraduates in physics are very curious about, but it has a reputation for being very difficult. This book provides as gentle an introduction to general relativity as possible, leading you through the necessary mathematics in order to arrive at important results. Of course, you cannot avoid the mathematics of general relativity altogether, but, using this book, you can gain access to and appreciation of tensors and differential geometry at a pace you can keep up with. Early chapters build up to a complete derivation of Einstein’s equations, while the final chapters cover the key applications on black holes, cosmology and gravitational waves. It is designed as a coursebook with just enough material to cover in a one-semester undergraduate class, but it is also accessible to any numerate readers who wish to appreciate the power and beauty of Einstein’s creation for themselves.

A General Relativity Coursebook
‘I think this is an excellent introduction to general relativity, and its important applications to cosmology and gravitational wave astrophysics, for the serious student who has not experienced the necessary mathematical formalism before and is willing to follow the text and attempt the many examples. It is an ideal lead in to many of the more sophisticated modern textbooks which are now available.’

Using the same approach that has proven highly popular in his other Student’s Guides, Professor Fleisch addresses the topics that his students have found most troublesome, providing a detailed and accessible description of Laplace transforms and how they relate to Fourier and Z-transforms, written in plain language, and including numerous, fully worked examples. The book is accompanied by a website containing a rich set of freely available supporting materials, including interactive solutions for every problem in the text, and a series of podcasts in which the author explains the important concepts, equations, and graphs of every section of the book.
Daniel Fleisch is Emeritus Professor of Physics at Wittenberg University, where he specialises in electromagnetics and space physics. He is the author of five other books with the Student’s Guide series, published by Cambridge University Press: A Student’s Guide to Maxwell’s Equations (2008); A Student’s Guide to Vectors and Tensors (2011); A Student’s Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy (2013), A Student’s Guide to Waves (2015), and A Student’s Guide to the Schrödinger Equation (2020).
