In this book we shall study the large scale structure of space-time on the basis of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The predictions of this theory are in agreement with all the experiments so far performed. However our treatment will be sufficiently general to cover modifications of Einstein's theory such as the Brans-Dicke theory.

While we expect that most of our readers will have some acquaintance with General Relativity, we have endeavored to write this book so that it is self-contained apart from requiring a knowledge of simple calculus, algebra and point set topology.  We have therefore devoted chapter 2 to differential geometry. Our treatment is reasonably modern in that we have formulated our definitions in a manifestly coordinate independent  manner. However for computational convenience we do use indices at times, and we have for the most part avoided the use of fibre bundles. The reader with some knowledge of differential geometry may wish to skip this chapter.

Muchas gracias por Subirlo! he buscado esto por más de 3 años, ahora puedo hacer unas comparaciones con el libro de Chandrasakhar (The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes).

You welcome! It's great you comparing with Mathematical Theory of Black Holes but they are not the same!
