Short Course in General Relativity and Cosmology
«
“The book itself is well produced. … I’ve often felt the need myself for a book between, on the one hand, popular and introductory-level presentations and, on the other, more advanced textbooks and technical monographs, especially one which covers topics I am less familiar with; I think that this book would serve such a need for others as well.” (Phillip Helbig, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1282), June, 2021)

Unlike most traditional introductory textbooks on relativity and cosmology that answer questions like "Does accelerated expansion pull our bodies apart?", "Does the presence of dark matter affect the classical tests of general relativity?" in a qualitative manner, the present text is intended as a foundation, enabling students to read and understand the textbooks and many of the scientific papers on the subject.

The unavoidable mathematical concepts and tools are presented in as straightforward manner as possible. Even though the mathematics is not very difficult, it certainly is beneficial to know some statistical thermodynamics as well as some quantum mechanics. Thus the text is suitable for the upper undergraduate curriculum.
