Cheers for the recommendations! And it's cool context too, regarding why you are into GR. As a physicist myself, in the atomic physics area, but not working within there at the moment, I was wondering: what brought you back, whether you are doing with in on the side, or something even more substantial?
- musgravepeter 9y agoEntirely on the side. I ended up in telecom SW but always tried to putter away on physics-based side projects (e.g. Geodesic Asteroids and Three Body apps on iOS, Android). In playing with geodesic equations I tried to use GRTensorII on my Mac and decided it was time to update it (my former supervisor & external examiner were very keen!). This lead me to work through "Relativists Toolkit" - doing all the problems - using GRTensor where I could. I'm now planning to spend a vacation week at the Atlantic GR conference and give a talk on GRIII. My hobbies tend to get a bit out of control! Some of this is blogged about on http://nbodyphysics.com/blog/ http://nbodyphysics.com/blog/
- lrc 9y agoI'm starting to evolve my work with SICM to cover "Functional Differential Geometry" [0], mostly because I hope to learn about relativity (special & general) while doing so. Your book evaluations will certainly help and I will have to compare notes with GRtensor (when/if I come to understand enough of the basics, not guaranteed :) [0] https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/functional-differential-geometry https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/functional-differential-geome...
- musgravepeter 9y agoThat book looks very interesting. Thanks for the tip.
