Einstein's theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that students find fascinating--black holes, warped spacetime, gravitational waves, and cosmology. Until now, it has not been included in the curriculum of many undergraduate physics courses because the required math is too advanced. The aim of this ground-breaking new text is to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum and make this fundamental theory accessible to virtually all physics majors. Using a "physics first" approach to the subject, renowned relativist James Hartle provides a fluent and accessible introduction that uses a minimum of new mathematics and illustrates a wealth of applications. Recognising that there is typically not enough time in a short introductory course for the traditional, math-first, approach to the subject, Hartle presents a physics-first introduction to general relativity that begins with the essential physical applications.

Hartle has authored this book with the motive of bringing the endless subject: The General Theory of Relativity, into a concise book in Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity in order to help the students of undergraduate level. Adopting a 'physics first' method to his area of study, Hartle presents this book with a brief, easy to understand English. The author emphasises on the interesting phenomena of gravitational physics and the developing link between the theory and the observation in this book. The book also depicts examples before every derivation for easy understanding of the subject. The various chapters in this book deals with concepts like Special Relativity and Space and Time in Newtonian Physics, Black Holes, Gravitational Physics, Newtonian Physics, Cosmological Models, The Curved Spacetimes of General Relativity, Gravity as Geometry, Solar System Tests, The Einstein Equation, Curvature, and Gravitational Wave Emission. Topics like GPS and X-Ray sources are applied to explain the boundless relevancy to the subject of Theory of General Relativity in day to day life. This book is based on the magnum opus The General Theory of Relativity, a geometric theory of gravitation authored by Albert Einstein in the year 1916. 600 pages.
