The book includes a section on general relativity that gives the case for a curved space-time, presents the mathematical background (tensor calculus, Riemannian geometry), discusses the Einstein equation and its solutions (including black holes and Penrose processes), and considers the energy-momentum tensor for various solutions. In addition, a section on relativistic astrophysics discusses stellar contraction and collapse, neutron stars and their equations of state, black holes, and accretion onto collapsed objects, with a final section on cosmology discussing cosmological models, observational tests, and scenarios for the early universe. This fully revised and updated second edition includes new material on relativistic effects, such as the behavior of clocks and measuring rods in motion, relativistic addition of velocities, and the twin paradox, as well as new material on gravitational waves, amongst other topics.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.0 aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed July 27, 2015). 0aCalculus of tensors. 0aRelativity (Physics) 0aCosmology. 7aCalculus of tensors.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00844137 7aCosmology.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00880600 7aRelativity (Physics)2fast0(OCoLC)fst01093604 4aElectronic books.1 aDalarsson, N.q(Nils),eauthor.403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128033975
