DESCRIPTION:
JayEm said I love the content of this book, but got a poor quality print on demand version. I love the content of this book, it's great to see GTR in matrix form. I will read it from cover to cover, once I get a copy with a cover that's actually glued on correctly. Amazon sent me a print on demand copy with the cover glued on cock-eyed. Big gap at the top of the spine, no gap at the bottom. The front and back didn't align when the book is closed, and it made a crackling snappy noise every time I opened and closed the book. I returned it, and. L. V. said Easier to understand and use.. Tensors are important in Relativity because they insure that equations have the same form on every frame of reference.That is a corner stone in Relativity.To use the theory you will choose one referential and the second order tensors became matrices.
He published various books on these topics both in German and English, e. g. After receiving his PhD in 1967, Günter Ludyk habilitated and has been appointed „Scientific Advisor and Professor“ (associate professor) of the Technical University of Berlin in 1970. Since 1972 he is a Full Professor at the Physics/Electrical Engineering Faculty of the University of Breme
Any necessary mathematical tools are user friendly provided, either directly in the text or in the appendices.. Part III explains the Schwarzschild solution of spherical body gravity and examines the "Black Hole" phenomenon. This feature makes the book special and a valuable tool for scientists and engineers with no experience in the field of tensor calculus. This book is an introduction to the theories of Special and General Relativity. The fundamental equations of Einstein's theory of Special and General Relativity are derived using matrix calculus, without the help of tensors. I
