UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS A PRIM...

This undergraduate textbook provides a simple  concise introduction to tensor algebra and
analysis  as well as special and general relativity. With a plethora of examples  explanations
and exercises  it forms a well-rounded didactic text that will be useful for any related
course. The book is divided into three main parts  all based on lecture notes that have been
refined for classroom teaching over the past two decades. Part I provides students with a
comprehensive overview of tensors. Part II links the very introductory first part and the
relatively advanced third part  demonstrating the important intermediate-level applications of
tensor analysis. Part III contains an extended discussion of general relativity  and includes
material useful for students interested primarily in quantum field theory and quantum gravity.
Tailored to the undergraduate  this textbook offers explanations of technical material not
easily found or detailed elsewhere  including an understandable description of Riemann normal
coordinates and conformal transformations. Future theoretical and experimental physicists  as
well as mathematicians  will thus find it a wonderful first read on the subject.
