Résumé / Abstract : Balša Terzić "Relativity and cosmology" provides a high-quality and highly relevant astrophysics grounding for senior undergraduates students. While there are many outstandings expert-level textbooks and reference books in cosmology and tensor calculus, there is a market need for a textbook at the level of the first undergraduate course on the subject, where an emphasis is placed on an illustrative, pedagogical approach. This book aims to fill such a need by striking a balance between the breadth and the depth of the material presented, frequently tying new material - relativistic mechanics and gravity - to the classical mechanics and gravity with which readers may be more familiar. "Relativity and cosmology" includes robust content and corresponding exercices, figures and appendices on many exciting developments in the field, including relativistic mechanics and how this relates to Newtonian classical mechanics, spacetime, special relativity, general relativity, basic tensor calculus, Einstein's field equations, cosmology, dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. This accessible first edition delivers helpful and engaging contribution to the study of the fundamentals of cosmology and relativity. It is ideal for courses in physics, astrophysics, astronomy, and related subjects.
