330 .. $a Spacetime and Geometry is an introductory textbook on general relativity, specifically
aimed at students. Using a lucid style, Carroll first covers the foundations of the
theory and mathematical formalism, providing an approachable introduction to what
can often be an intimidating subject. Three major applications of general relativity
are then discussed: black holes, perturbation theory and gravitational waves, and
cosmology. Students will learn the origin of how spacetime curves (the Einstein equation)
and how matter moves through it (the geodesic equation). They will learn what black
holes really are, how gravitational waves are generated and detected, and the modern
view of the expansion of the universe. A brief introduction to quantum field theory
in curved spacetime is also included. A student familiar with this book will be ready
to tackle research-level problems in gravitational physics
