"Clarity, readability and rigor combine in the third edition of this widely used textbook
to provide the first step into general relativity for advanced undergraduate students
with a minimal background in mathematics. Topics within relativity that fascinate
astrophysics researchers and students alike are covered with Schutz's characteristic
ease and authority, from black holes to relativistic objects, from pulsars to the
study of the Universe as a whole. This third edition contains discoveries by astronomers
that require general relativity for their explanation; two chapters on gravitational
waves, including direct detections of gravitational waves and the impact of their
observation on cosmological measurements; new information on black holes and neutron
stars; and greater insight into the expansion of the Universe. Over 300 exercises,
many new to this edition, give students the confidence to work with general relativity
and the necessary mathematics, while the informal writing style and worked examples
make the subject matter easily accessible"
