Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology

"An Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology is a text that presents a detailed coverage of cosmology as described by exact methods of relativity and inhomogeneous cosmological models. Geometric, physical and astrophysical properties of inhomogeneous cosmological models and advanced aspects of the Kerr metric are all systematically derived and clearly presented so that the reader can follow and verify all details. The book contains a detailed presentation of many topics that are not found in other textbooks." "This textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduates of physics and astronomy will enable students to develop expertise in the mathematical techniques necessary to study general relativity."--Jacket.
