Dear all, in what sense the tangent space is the best approximation of a manifold? The idea is clear to me when we think about a surface in Rn and its tangent plane at a point. But what does this mean when we are referring to very general manifolds? In what sense "approximation" and in what...

Moore's A Traveller's Guide to Spacetime is excellent.

The book with solutions is easy to recognise. The solutions are not just a few pages, but the second half of the book. It's type-written.

I would ask the seller, to be sure of that you buy the right one.

Exercises of Schutz's "First Course of General Relativity" Dear all, does anybody know where solutions to the exercises can be found? I remember that I found a link in the Web once but I forgot where. Thanks, Goldbeetle

You may want to have a look at Barbour's "The Discovery of Dynamics".

How can I dowload the attachment of the first post?

Read this: "A Book of Abstract Algebra: Second Edition" by Charles Pinter It is an introduction to abstract algebra and mathematical thinking. From a didactic viewpoint it is unbeatable! Probability and statistics is also something very interesting, that you could learn.

There's one calculus book that was the one that young Einstein learned the stuff from, I can't remember the title, though.

I would go for math and interior design. The physics of practical civil engineering is not so demanding.

"A General Relativity Workbook" by Thomas Moore The author of a wonderful introduction to special relativity, "A Traveller's Guide to Spacetime", has made available the preprint of his next book on general relativity at his personal web page. Check it out at: http://pages.pomona.edu/~tmoore/grw/

Ben, that was a great summary on connections! Thanks. Goldbeetle

Thanks! Could you please post the Table of Contents.
