About the Author Alan P.
Although well suited for individual use, the volume may also be used with one of the modem textbooks in general relativity.
In their solutions, the authors have attempted to convey a mode of approach to these kinds of problems, revealing procedures that can reduce the labor of calculations while avoiding the pitfall of too much or too powerful formalism.
The problems are expressed in broad physical terms to enhance their pertinence to readers with diverse backgrounds.
