Written by a towering figure of twentieth-century mathematics, this classic examines the mathematical background necessary for a grasp of relativity theory. Tullio Levi-Civita provides a thorough treatment of the introductory theories that form the basis for discussions of fundamental quadratic forms and absolute differential calculus, and he further explores physical applications.Part one opens with considerations of functional determinants and matrices, advancing to systems of total differential equations, linear partial differential equations, algebraic foundations, and a geometrical introduction to theory. The second part addresses covariant differentiation, curvature-related Riemann's symbols and properties, differential quadratic forms of classes zero and one, and intrinsic geometry. The final section focuses on physical applications, covering gravitational equations and general relativity.

Very cheeky
Format: Paperback
My kids loved the Dad and Me book and continue to read it years later. I ordered this for a birthday. We enjoyed it on the birthday but my kids haven’t asked to read it since. Cute but it didn’t live up to some other versions. Still glad I purchased.

Great book for Halloween and fart loving kids
Format: Paperback
A classic in my house. With two boys of course monster farts are so funny. My youngest who loves books was looking at it the other day and making fart sounds at each picture, that’s a win in this moms book.
