Part One. Preliminaries -- I. Historical introduction -- 2. Special relativity -- Part Two. the General Theory of Relativity -- 3. The principle of equivalence -- 4. Tensor analysis -- 5. Effects of gravitation -- 6. Curvature -- 7. Einstein's field equations -- Part Three. Applications of Feneral Relativity -- 8. Classic test of Einstein's theory -- 9. Post-Newtonian celestial mechanics -- 10. Gravitational radiation -- 11. Stellar euilibrium and collapse -- Part Four. Formal Developments -- 12. The action principle -- 13.

Summary: Gravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity offers a Nobel laureate's perspectives on the wealth of data technological developments have brought to expand upon Einstein's theory. Unique in basing relativity on the Principle of Equivalence of Gravitation and Inertia over Riemannian geometry, this book explores relativity experiments and observational cosmology to provide a sound foundation upon which analyses can be made. Covering special and general relativity, tensor analysis, gravitation, curvature, and more, this book provides an engaging, insightful introduction to the forces that shape the universe.
