- Edwin F. Taylor, whose deep roots in physics and collaboration with John Archibald Wheeler enrich this work, presents an accessible yet rigorous introduction to general relativity and black holes.
- You’ll engage directly with the mathematics behind curved spacetime, guided through five foundational chapters and seven investigative projects that challenge you to compute outcomes and explore key applications yourself.
This book is tailored for astronomers, mathematicians, and curious minds eager to move beyond surface-level understanding into active exploration of these cosmic phenomena. If you want a hands-on approach to grasping relativity, this book delivers without unnecessary complexity, though it demands a solid grasp of calculus and algebra.
