Applied General Relativity Theory and Applications in Astronomy, Celestial Mechanics and Metrology /

In the late 20th and beginning 21st century high-precision astronomy, positioning and metrology strongly rely on general relativity. Supported by exercises and solutions this book offers graduate students and researchers entering those fields a self-contained and exhaustive but accessible treatment...
