Chow introduces the mathematical methods essential to understanding and applying
general relativity--tensor calculus, some differential geometry, etc.--but
leaves to more advanced references derivations that a beginning student would
likely find overly long and tedious. The book employs standard tensor analysis-
-which requires only basic calculus for its understanding--and resists the
temptation to adopt more powerful mathematical formalisms (like exterior
calculus and differential forms) used by researchers in the field. In this way,
the student can concentrate on learning physics--and not be distracted by the
complexities of unfamiliar mathematical methods.
