General theory of relativity. Introduction. Modern development and applications. Alekseev S.O., commemorative E.A., Ursulov A.V.

The foundations of the general theory of relativity (OT), as well as the introduction into its modern development and state are presented. The mathematical apparatus is stated quite fully. The main consequences and applications (including observant and experimental status) are discussed, for example, to astrophysicism, physics of black holes, cosmology, etc. Analyzes modern expansion, causes and paths of further development. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation as a training manual for students (undergraduates) specializing in theoretical physics, astrophysics, and other areas. It will also be useful to graduate students, teachers and all those of interest to gravity problems.
