Extensive, step-by-step solutions for every problem
Princeton University Press hosts classic foundational problems. The physics department offers comprehensive guides covering advanced GR topics.
The problems range from straightforward applications of formulas to complex, multi-part questions that test in-depth understanding. Note: Always ensure you are accessing copyrighted materials

General Relativity (GR) introduces spacetime curvature as the manifestation of gravity. The mathematics shifts heavily toward differential geometry. Key categories include: Manipulating metric tensors ( gμνg sub mu nu end-sub Key categories include: Manipulating metric tensors ( gμνg

Calculating proper time along different worldlines to resolve apparent contradictions. multi-part questions that test in-depth understanding.
2. "Problem Book in Relativity and Gravitation" by Lightman, Press, Price, and Teukolsky
This collection of 300 problems is designed to cover the breadth of relativistic physics, divided typically into two main sections: 1. Special Relativity (Problems 1–150)
Special relativity focuses on physics without gravity, where speed approaches the velocity of light.
General Relativity transitions from flat Minkowski space to the curved spacetimes dictated by gravity. The problems here shift toward advanced differential geometry. Tensor Calculus and Differential Geometry
