Product Description
This self-contained book is written both as a reference book for researchers in physics, astrophysics and applied mathematics, and as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate students. In particular, the book provides an introduction to special and general relativity theory.
This self-contained book is written both as a reference book for researchers in physics, astrophysics and applied mathematics, and as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate students. In particular, the book provides an introduction to special and general relativity theory.
The aim of this book is to present the theory and applications of the relativistic Boltzmann equation in a self-contained manner, even for those readers who have no familiarity with special and general relativity. Though an attempt is made to present the basic concepts in a complete fashion, the style of presentation is chosen to be appealing to readers who want to understand how kinetic theory is used for explicit calculations.
The book will be helpful not only as a textbook for an advanced course on relativistic kinetic theory but also as a reference for physicists, astrophysicists and applied mathematicians who are interested in the theory and applications of the relativistic Boltzmann equation.
