A concise, direct examination of general relativity and black holes, Exploring <br />
Black Holes provides tools that motivate tools that motivate readers to become <br />
active participants in carrying out their own investigations about curved <br />
spacetime near earth and black holes. The authors use calculus and algebra to <br />
make general relativity accessible, and use quotes from well-known <br />
personalities, including Einstein, to offer further insight. Five chapters <br />
introduce basic theory. The book also includes seven projects regarding the <br />
analysis of major applications. Discussions provide the background needed to <br />
carry out projects. The book's projects guide readers as they fill in steps, <br />
compute outcomes and carry out their own investigations. For astronomers, <br />
mathematicians and people interested in learning about the relativity of black <br />
holes.<br />
