This is the third edition of a well-received textbook on modern physics theory. This book provides an elementary but rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In...

Einstein's theory of 'general relativity' (1915) was a defining event for 20th century philosophy of science. During the decisive first ten years of the theory's existence, two main ideas dominated its philosophical reception. Ryckman's book is an...

Special and General Relativity are concisely developed together with essential aspects of nuclear and particle physics. Problem sets are provided for many chapters, making the book ideal for a course on the physics of white dwarf and neutron star...

This book deals with aspects of Astrophysics, that are currently in vogue-dealing with compact objects, their energetics and some brief cosmology. In the context of energetics, it is very important to deal with aspects related to electromagnetic and...

How the Einsteinian revolution can be understood as the result of a long-term evolution of science The revolution that emerged from Albert Einstein’s work in the early twentieth century transformed our understanding of space, time, motion, gravity,...

The purpose of this book is to systematically derive, as much as possible, the main exact asymptotically flat solutions of the static and stationary axially symmetric vacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations. The primary 'building block' used is the Euclidon...
