Summary

This book provides an unusually broad survey of the current state of General Relativity & will be useful both to postgraduates & to established workers in the field. Chapters on mathematical relativity cover many topics including initial value problems, a new approach to the partial differential equations of physics & current work on exact solutions. Cosmology is represented by chapters on relativistic cosmology & on black holes. Other chapters deal with gravitational waves, experimental relativity, quantum gravity & aspects of computing in relativity.
