商品描述

This comprehensive textbook on relativity integrates Newtonian physics, special relativity and general relativity into a single book that emphasizes the deep underlying principles common to them all, yet explains how they are applied in different ways in these three contexts.

Newton's ideas about how to represent space and time, his laws of dynamics, and his theory of gravitation established the conceptual foundation from which modern physics developed. Book I in this volume offers undergraduates a modern view of Newtonian theory, emphasizing those aspects needed for understanding quantum and relativistic contemporary physics.

In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed a novel representation of space and time, special relativity. Book II presents relativistic dynamics in inertial and accelerated frames, as well as a detailed overview of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. This provides undergraduate and graduate students with the background necessary for studying particle and accelerator physics, astrophysics and Einstein's theory of general relativity.

In 1915, Einstein proposed a new theory of gravitation, general relativity. Book III in this volume develops the geometrical framework in which Einstein's equations are formulated, and presents several key applications: black holes, gravitational radiation, and cosmology, which will prepare graduate students to carry out research in relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave astronomy, and cosmology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本關於相對論的綜合教科書將牛頓物理學、特殊相對論和一般相對論整合成一本書,強調它們之間共同的深層原則,同時解釋這三種情境中如何以不同方式應用這些原則。

牛頓關於如何表現空間和時間的觀念、他的動力學定律以及他的引力理論建立了現代物理學發展的概念基礎。本卷的第一冊為大學生提供了牛頓理論的現代觀點,強調理解量子和相對論當代物理所需的那些方面。

在1905年,阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦提出了一種新的空間和時間表現方式,即特殊相對論。第二冊介紹了慣性和加速參考系中的相對論動力學,以及麥克斯韋電磁理論的詳細概述。這為本科生和研究生提供了學習粒子和加速器物理學、天體物理學以及愛因斯坦的一般相對論所需的背景知識。

在1915年,愛因斯坦提出了一種新的引力理論,即一般相對論。本卷的第三冊發展了愛因斯坦方程的幾何框架,並介紹了幾個關鍵應用:黑洞、引力輻射和宇宙學,這將為研究生準備進行相對論天體物理學、引力波天文學和宇宙學的研究。
