GENERAL RELATIVITY
Completed Manuscripts

Intrigued by General Relativity? Took a year of college physics? I've completed the manuscript for a book aimed at YOU:  
Warped Spacetime, the Einstein Equations, and the Expanding Universe : A Calculus-based Introduction to General Relativity (PublisherAmazon)

I 've also completed the manuscript for a textbook which brings a reader familiar with Newtonian physics up to the point where they have a good idea of what General Relativity is about, and can begin to study it in earnest (eg via my text above). Newton-Einstein Gravity: An Introduction to the Geometry of Space+Time .

Research interests
Spherically Symmetric Solutions of Einstein's field equations; also: Related and Unexpected Symmetries in Newtonian Gravity and General Relativity. Some of the research results are reflected in my texts book mentioned above and the papers listed below.

 

 
 

 

Lecture Series on Newton-Einstein GRavity: A precursor course to General Relativity
Last year I taught an informal course based on the two texts mentioned on the left: it took place in NYU but in coordination with the American Institute of Physics (AIP) was open to undergraduates in all NY-area universities who were members of the local chapers of the AIP's National Society of Physics Students (SPS) . Another such course is planned for this Fall. The lectures will be recorded and will be available as a DVD lecture series. Although the lectures were geared for these special SPS undergraduate physics majors, the DVD version will have additional material to make it accessible to anyone with one year of calculus-based physics.

Interested Participants, Universities, Educational Materials Companies please contact me.
