Relativity in Modern Physics: Oxford Graduate Texts

Autor Nathalie Deruelle, Jean-Philippe Uzan Traducere de Patricia de Forcrand-Millard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 aug 2018
This comprehensive textbook on relativity integrates Newtonian physics, special relativity and general relativity into a single book that emphasizes the deep underlying principles common to them all, yet explains how they are applied in different ways in these three contexts.Newton's ideas about how to represent space and time, his laws of dynamics, and his theory of gravitation established the conceptual foundation from which modern physics developed. Book I in this volume offers undergraduates a modern view of Newtonian theory, emphasizing those aspects needed for understanding quantum and relativistic contemporary physics.In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed a novel representation of space and time, special relativity. Book II presents relativistic dynamics in inertial and accelerated frames, as well as a detailed overview of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. This provides undergraduate and graduate students with the background necessary for studying particle and accelerator physics, astrophysics and Einstein's theory of general relativity.In 1915, Einstein proposed a new theory of gravitation, general relativity. Book III in this volume develops the geometrical framework in which Einstein's equations are formulated, and presents several key applications: black holes, gravitational radiation, and cosmology, which will prepare graduate students to carry out research in relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave astronomy, and cosmology.

Recenzii

a very rich book: All notions like relativity, space and time are carefully explained, their history is mentioned by giving plenty of footnotes. The mathematical side, the experimental side, and the view of the theoretical physicist are presented adequately at the respective places.
It brings together, in a coherent way, classical Newtonian physics, special relativity and general relativity, emphasising common underlying principles.
