Michael Cole | 9 comments I wrote this book because I found GR texts to be either dumbed down to the point of little value, or written at a university graduate level (thus unapproachable to many). This book seeks a middle ground (see description below)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL3NKBT5

Learn the mathematics of curved space-time. Understand Einstein's field equations and the principles of General Relativity in this step by step guide. Even if the reader's calculus is rusty and they need a refresher on linear algebra, this book provides the bite-sized lessons that explain each concept with no steps left out. This is not a layman's overview of General Relativity. Real understanding and learning are contained within. Neither is this an unapproachable graduate level text. Undergraduates, high school students and, even, enthusiastic amateurs can learn to solve basic problems in General Relativity. How much does light bend going around the Sun? Why is the acceleration on the surface of the Earth 9.8 meters per second every second? The reader will be able to use the principles of General Relativity to answer these questions for themselves.

Hector | 41 comments Hey, Michael! Thanks for sharing, I just purchased your book!

Having dealt previously with general relativity textbooks I found your description of them being unapproachable very accurate. I believe I fall into the "enthusiastic amateurs" category so I look forward to reading through your book and starting to solve problems related to GR.
