General Relativity, Astrophysics, and Cosmology

By A.K. Raychaudhuri, A. Banerjee, S. Banerji

Book Overview

The discovery of compact objects, such as quasars and pulsars, and of the microwave background radiation, as well as the recent insight that astrophysical observations can illuminate elementary particle physics have greatly enhanced the interest in general relativity, which forms the theoretical background for these investigations.
