A College Course on Relativity and Cosmology (repost)




Ta-Pei Cheng, "A College Course on Relativity and Cosmology"


2015 | ISBN-10: 0199693404, 0199693412 | 304 pages | PDF | 3 MB




This advanced undergraduate text introduces Einstein"s general theory of relativity. The topics covered include geometric formulation of special relativity, the principle of equivalence, Einstein"s field equation and its spherical-symmetric solution, as well as cosmology. An emphasis is placed on physical examples and simple applications without the full tensor apparatus. It begins by examining the physics of the equivalence principle and looks at how it inspired Einstein"s idea of curved spacetime as the gravitational field. At a more mathematically accessible level, it provides a metric description of a warped space, allowing the reader to study many interesting phenomena such as gravitational time dilation, GPS operation, light deflection, precession of Mercury"s perihelion, and black holes. Numerous modern topics in cosmology are discussed from primordial inflation and cosmic microwave background to the dark energy that propels an accelerating universe.




Building on Cheng"s previous book, "Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology: A Basic Introduction", this text has been tailored to the advanced student. It concentrates on the core elements of the subject making it suitable for a one-semester course at the undergraduate level. It can also serve as an accessible introduction of general relativity and cosmology for those readers who want to study the subject on their own. The proper tensor formulation of Einstein"s field equation is presented in an appendix chapter for those wishing to glimpse further at the mathematical details.

The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook)




The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won"t Learn in College About How to Be Successful (Audiobook) by Michael Ellsberg


English | 2012 | ISBN: n/a | 9 hours and 51 minutes | MP3 64 kbps | 266 MB




The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career.




The Reality: The biggest thing you won"t learn in college is how to succeed professionally.




Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn"t finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you"ll need to learn to be successful you"ll have to learn on your own, outside of school.




Michael Ellsberg set out to fill in the gaps by interviewing a wide range of millionaires and billionaires who don"t have college degrees, including fashion magnate Russell Simmons, Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz and founding president Sean Parker, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg, and Pink Floyd songwriter and lead guitarist David Gilmour. Among the fascinating things he learned:




• How fashion designer Marc Ecko started earning $ 1,000 a week in high school with his own clothing business and later grew it into an empire.


• How billionaire Phillip Ruffin went from lowly department store clerk with no college degree to owner of Treasure Island on the Vegas Strip.


• How John Paul DeJoria went from homelessness to billionaire as the founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems hair care products.




This book is your guide to developing practical success skills in the real world. Even if you"ve already gone through college, the most important skills weren"t on the curriculum–how to find great mentors, build a world-class network, learn real-world marketing and sales, make your work meaningful (and your meaning work), build the brand of you, master the art of bootstrapping, and more.




Learning the skills in this book well is a necessary addition to any education, whether you"re a high school dropout or a graduate of Harvard Law School.
