✦ Synopsis


This book is the first volume out of a 2-volume book series on General Relativity (GR), and offers a detailed introduction into the mathematics of GR, special relativity and the equivalence principle. It teaches these concepts by charting a student’s progress through GR, who constantly stumbles and rises in an effort to arrive at epiphanies which ultimately lead to a concrete understanding of the ideas underlying one of the most important theories in modern physics.
