A Concise Introduction to General Relativity

This book introduces the basics of general relativity. In terms of content arrangement, the International System of Units (SI) is used to derive all formulas. In addition, this book also attempts to use low-dimensional Riemannian geometric forms to promote the understanding of curved space-time. A more detailed introduction to Einstein summation convention is also one of the features of this book. This will help readers better understand the calculation and derivation process of tensors. In each chapter, there is a detailed description of the learning goals, along with exercises and inquiry topics. In this way, readers can deepen their understanding of the key and difficult issues in these chapters, and closely integrate theory and practice. To read this book, readers only need to have knowledge of college advanced mathematics and general physics.
