300 Problems in Special and General Relativity cover

A textbook-neutral problems-and-solutions book that complements any relativity textbook at advanced undergraduate or masters level.

This supplementary problem book or student's manual consists of 150 problems in each of special and general relativity, with complete solutions elaborated. Designed as a companion text to supplement a main relativity textbook at advanced undergraduate or masters level, it does not assume access to any specific textbook.Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity form a core part of today's undergraduate (or Masters-level) physics curriculum. This is a supplementary problem book or student's manual, consisting of 150 problems in each of special and general relativity. The problems, which have been developed, tested and refined by the authors over the past two decades, are a mixture of short-form and multi-part extended problems, with hints provided where appropriate. Complete solutions are elaborated for every problem, in a different section of the book; some solutions include brief discussions on their physical or historical significance. Designed as a companion text to complement a main relativity textbook, it does not assume access to any specific textbook. This is a helpful resource for advanced students, for self-study, a source of problems for university teaching assistants, or as inspiration for instructors and examiners constructing problems for their lectures, homework or exams.

'This book is intended to help students grasp the concepts of relativity and acquire the requisite problem-solving skills and will be warmly received by graduate students of physics, including those preparing for the Graduate Record Examinations, and instructors of relativity. … Recommended.'
