Einstein's General Theory of Relativity:

With modern applications in Cosmology


"Einstein's General Theory of Relativity" is a textbook in the general theory of relativity. The book is currently being finalised and will be published by Springer some time in 2007. The book itself is meant to be a comprehensive introduction to the field with modern applications in cosmology. It is also suitable as a general reference work for anybody working in GR. Moreover, a part called "Advanced Topics" is included for the more experienced reader or for researchers in the field.

The book is available as a gzipped .ps file and a .pdf file on the links below. However, we should warn everybody that as the book is not finished some sections and chapters may not be complete. Also, since the proof reading is not completed, there may still be many typos and errors. If you spot any errors or typos, or have any suggestions for improvements, please don't hesitate to contact either of us. Simplest way is perhaps via email.

Here are the files:

Happy reading!
