书目名称 | General Relativity for Mathematicians | 编辑 | Rainer K. Sachs,Hung-Hsi Wu | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Graduate Texts in Mathematics | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | This is a book about physics, written for mathematicians. The readers we have in mind can be roughly described as those who: I. are mathematics graduate students with some knowledge of global differential geometry 2. have had the equivalent of freshman physics, and find popular accounts of astrophysics and cosmology interesting 3. appreciate mathematical elarity, but are willing to accept physical motiva tions for the mathematics in place of mathematical ones 4. are willing to spend time and effort mastering certain technical details, such as those in Section 1. 1. Each book disappoints so me readers. This one will disappoint: 1. physicists who want to use this book as a first course on differential geometry 2. mathematicians who think Lorentzian manifolds are wholly similar to Riemannian ones, or that, given a sufficiently good mathematical back ground, the essentials of a subject !ike cosmology can be learned without so me hard work on boring detaiis 3. those who believe vague philosophical arguments have more than historical and heuristic significance, that general relativity should somehow be "proved," or that axiomatization of this subject is useful 4. those who want an ency | 出版日期 | Textbook 1977 | 关键词 | Manifold; Relativity; Relativitätstheorie; general relativity; geometry; mathematics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-9903-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-9905-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-9903-5Series ISSN 0072-5285 Series E-ISSN 2197-5612 | issn_series | 0072-5285 | copyright | Springer-Verlag, New York Inc. 1977 |
