Lizwi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 What notes should I read before taking a book" a short course in general relativity" by Nightingale. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It seems to be a fairly well reviewed introductory treatment of the subject, so the prerequisite should be just some basic knowledge of maths and physics. Most books like this are light on the maths involved and focus on a verbal explanation that might resonate with the reader. If you have above average mathematic skills, you might enjoy a more technical textbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematic Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The most important math background would be differential geometry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
