Einstein in Matrix Form
Author: Günter Ludyk
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2013-06-12
This book is an introduction to the theories of Special and General Relativity. The target audience are physicists, engineers and applied scientists who are looking for an understandable introduction to the topic - without too much new mathematics. The fundamental equations of Einstein's theory of Special and General Relativity are derived using matrix calculus, without the help of tensors. This feature makes the book special and a valuable tool for scientists and engineers with no experience in the field of tensor calculus. In part I the foundations of Special Relativity are developed, part II describes the structure and principle of General Relativity. Part III explains the Schwarzschild solution of spherical body gravity and examines the "Black Hole" phenomenon. Any necessary mathematical tools are user friendly provided, either directly in the text or in the appendices.
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2023-06-29
Einstein's general theory of relativity can be a notoriously difficult subject for students approaching it for the first time, with arcane mathematical concepts such as connection coefficients and tensors adorned with a forest of indices. This book is an elementary introduction to Einstein's theory and the physics of curved space-times that avoids these complications as much as possible. Its first half describes the physics of black holes, gravitational waves and the expanding Universe, without using tensors. Only in the second half are Einstein's field equations derived and used to explain the dynamical evolution of the early Universe and the creation of the first elements. Each chapter concludes with problem sets and technical mathematical details are given in the appendices. This short text is intended for undergraduate physics students who have taken courses in special relativity and advanced mechanics.
Introduction to Einstein's Summation Notation
Author: Hans-Friedrich Pfeiffer
language: en
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
Release Date: 2023-02-20
This book is about Einstein's Summation Notation (ESN). It explains the rules for correct use of ESN-notation, covering the Kronecker-symbol and the Levi-Civita-symbol. Examples are taken from Linear Algebra (vector - and matrix - calculation) as well as functional analysis (diferential operators gradient, curl, divergence). The book aims at students of physics who want to deal with the Special - and General Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein, as the correct use of ESN in this area is essential.
