<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Einstein's general theory of relativity requires a curved space for the description of the physical world. If one wishes to go beyond superficial discussions of the physical relations involved, one needs to set up precise equations for handling curved space. The well-established mathematical technique that accomplishes this is clearly described in this classic book by Nobel Laureate P.A.M. Dirac. Based on a series of lectures given by Dirac at Florida State University, and intended for the advanced undergraduate, <i>General Theory of Relativity</i> comprises thirty-five compact chapters that take the reader point-by-point through the necessary steps for understanding general relativity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Dirac was a man of few words, and this little book-with 35 sections spanning 69 pages-exhibits the concise, direct style that was his trademark. Seasoned physicists will appreciate the book as an elegant, well-organized introduction to the basic mathematics and physics of curved space.<b>---R.
