内容概要

While using this book in classes, we found that our canonical reader can learn nonquantum physics rather quickly. Indeed, equipped with geometric intuition and a facility with abstract arguments, he is in a position to deal directly with the general, currently accepted models used in relativity without being handicapped by the prejudices that inevitably come with years of Newtonian training in the standard physics curriculum. However, this shortcut does involve a price: one cannot really see the diversity of special cases behind the deceptively simple foundation without spending more time than a mathematics student normally can or should. We have felt for a long time that a serious effort should be made by physicists to communicate with mathematicians somewhat along the line of this book. We started with the aim of keeping the physics honest, keeping th9 mathematics honest, and keeping the logical distinction between the two straight. But we were ill-prepared for the attendant trauma of such an undertaking.

•   这是一本以绝对严格的数学语言写成的广义相对论著作，如果读者对GR中的某些概念追求严格的定义可以查阅它，阅读需要很扎实的数学根基，极不适合初学者
•   有基础的人可以看看。这个书是比较高端的广义相对论的的学习者好研究者看的。初学者不推荐。
•   和好书籍，有收获
•   经典数目，值得阅读。
•   不错，最近边有道边看！
•   适合数学基础比较好的人看
•   很不错,书是给人买的,谢谢当当的购物平台,为我们节省了很多的购物时间.
•   看不懂,但拿来送朋友的.就是书的封面太寒酸了.
•   這一次，就再次說明了這一點，到我手上的這本書整本接近一半頁面是印刷得非常淡的，對比學校圖書館和書店的這一本影印本，明顯出櫃的屬於印刷不過關的！可惜了，好書被如此糟蹋。
