Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity form a core part of today's undergraduate (or Masters-level) physics curriculum. This is a supplementary problem book or student's manual, consisting of 150 problems in each of special and general relativity. The problems, which have been developed, tested and refined by the authors over the past two decades, are a mixture of short-form and multi-part extended problems, with hints provided where appropriate. Complete solutions are elaborated for every problem, in a different section of the book; some solutions include brief discussions on their physical or historical significance. Designed as a companion text to complement a main relativity textbook, it does not assume access to any specific textbook. This is a helpful resource for advanced students, for self-study, a source of problems for university teaching assistants, or as inspiration for instructors and examiners constructing problems for their lectures, homework or exams.

  •  
  • Numerous problems cover both special and general relativity, to encourage and inspire further studies directed towards general relativity
  • An introductory chapter covers the general notation, presentation of both special and general relativity and conventions used, to help students relate the problems to their main textbook(s)
  • Includes problems on topics of contemporary interest, such as gravitational waves
  • Solutions are presented in a different part of the book, to help students avoid the temptation of peeking at the answers too soon

Mattias Blennow is an Associate Professor in Theoretical Astroparticle Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. His research is mainly directed towards the physics of neutrinos and dark matter and beyond the Standard Model physics. He is the author of the textbook Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering (CRC Press, 2019). He has more than fifteen years of experience in teaching and has taught special and general relativity both as a lecturer and as a teaching assistant.

Tommy Ohlsson is Professor of Theoretical Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. He has also been a Visiting Professor at University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland, during several years. His main research field is theoretical particle physics, especially neutrino physics and physics beyond the Standard Model. He has written the textbook Relativistic Quantum Physics: From Advanced Quantum Mechanics to Introductory Quantum Field Theory (Cambridge, 2011). He has over twenty-five years of university level teaching experience in relativity theory and physics in general.
