Book Description
Relativity Theory is a scientific explanation of the central ideas of general relativity for readers with modest backgrounds in mathematics and physics. The mathematical discussion is kept informal. Topics include the metric tensor, space dependent metric, four dimensional space, principles of GTR, Einstein's equations, Schwarzschild's solution, cosmological solutions, and relativistic astrophysics phenomena.

Book Description
This monograph explains and analyzes the principles of a quantum-geometric framework for the unification of general relativity and quantum theory. By taking advantage of recent advances in areas like fibre and superfibre bundle theory, Krein spaces, gauge fields and groups, coherent states, etc., these principles can be consistently incorporated into a framework that can justifiably be said to provide the foundations for a quantum extrapolation of general relativity. This volume aims to present this approach in a way which places as much emphasis on fundamental physical ideas as on their precise mathematical implementation. References are also made to the ideas of Einstein, Bohr, Born, Dirac, Heisenberg and others, in order to set the work presented here in an appropriate historical context.
University Physics
Author: OpenStaxPublisher:
ISBN: 9781680920451
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
University Physics is a three-volume collection that meets the scope and sequence requirements for two- and three-semester calculus-based physics courses. Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result. The text and images in this textbook are grayscale.
