Daverz, thanks a lot. I had this book in my wishlist but my spider senses were tingling all over the second edition. I have ordered a used copy of the first edition (august 71 - ouch!

It says 'new edition') from Amazon.fr (actually, from Nearfine), starting with your link. As for the link given by robphy, I had downloaded the files weeks ago but, correct me if I am wrong: they are only for chapter 1, right? I take it the book has more than one chapter (as stated on amazon 200 pages plus the 60 plus pages of exercises). Thanks again for helping me getting rid of 20 bucks.:-) EDIT: I can no longer find the number of pages. So probably by switching from one amazon to the other I must have messed things up. Oh, well, I guess now I just have to wait and see.

At least it will be the first edition. Daverz, thanks a lot.

I wanted to thank you again Daverz, the book has finally arrived and it is indeed the one depicted above. ISBN 0-7167-0336-X.

Let me add some information for other potential buyers out there. This maroon edition is the first edition: it carries a copyright 1963, 1966 and it has a total of three (3) chapters. Chapter 1: (pp. 1-60) - The Geometry of Spacetime This chapter is available online on Edwin Taylor's website - see above for the address. The exercises for chapter 1 take pages 61-100 Chapter 2: (pp. 101-139) - Momentum and Energy The exercises for chapter 2 take pages 140-174 Chapter 3: (pp.

175-198) - The Physics of Curved Spacetime Then there is an index and, starting right after page 208 there are 61 pages with the solutions of the exercises (in a typewriter font). This first edition spans a total of 270 pages (give or take the covers and preface). This edition seems to lack all the ( subjectively) annoying features that seem to plague (according to some reviewer on Amazon) the second edition. There are no black crows as far as I can tell.:-).

But at the same time (so to speak) also lacks the Q&A that many reviewers found helpful. All in all I am delighted to have it in my library. Scarica Gratis Programma Per Aprire File Dwg To Pdf. So, again thanks for the guidance.

Encopy Download Yahoo. >General Relativity This is a textbook on general relativity for upper-division undergraduates majoring in physics, at roughly the same level as Rindler's Essential Relativity or Hartle's Gravity. The book is meant to be especially well adapted for self-study, and answers are given in the back of the book for almost all the problems. The ratio of conceptual to mathematical problems is higher than in most books. The notational system emphasized most strongly is coordinate-free abstract index notation. Knowledge of first-year calculus and lower-division mechanics and electromagnetism is assumed. Differential equations, linear algebra, and vector calculus are used in various spots, and although it would not be too hard to skip over those spots while understanding the general ideas, the reality is that general relativity is a subject in which a fairly high degree of mathematical maturity will be useful.

Special relativity is introduced from scratch, but it will be very helpful to have a thorough previous knowledge of SR, at the level of a book such as Taylor and Wheeler's Spacetime Physics or my own text.
