What is Theoretical Foundations Of Cosmology: Introduction To The Global Structure Of Space-time Introduction to the Global Structure of Space-Time about?
1 online resource (viii, 147 pages) : The book's principal aim is to clarify fundamental concepts, decipher mathematical structures used to model space-time and relativistic worlds, and to disclose their physical meaning. After each chapter, philosophical implications of the presented material are commented upon. Both special and general theories of relativity are presented in the book with the stress on their global aspects. Although global mathematical methods are extensively used throughout the book, the definitions of new concepts, short comments and examples make reading smooth without the need to consult other textbooks or review papers Includes bibliographical references Print version record Ch. 1.
