Hi all

Following the discussion in the exercise session today, two other introductory textbooks for GR that you may find helpful to use in conjunction with Carroll are A First Course in General Relativity (2nd ed.) by Bernard Schutz as well as Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell by Anthony Zee.

Schutz is, in my view, the best at easing the reader into the transition between SR and GR - not just in terms of the technical details, but conceptually as well. However, it is occasionally too introductory (the book grew out of undergrad notes, so the level is pitched accordingly). It's also nice in that it roughly covers the same content as Carroll, and in the same order.

Zee is easily the best textbook writer I've read; but, the pleasantness of his style aside, his GR book is unorthodox in what material it covers and how it does so. Some rather import...
