Review title: A First Course in General Relativity
Product review: Schutz's book, "A First Course in General Relativity", along with J. Foster's/ J.D. Nightingale's book, "A Short Course in General Relativity", are the ones to study prior to tackling the massive (sorry about the pun) Gravitation, by MTW. The logical arrangement of relativity is much better in these books than in MTW, although MTW treats more matters more thoroughly (can't help the puns). Schutz seems more like a physicist, and Foster/Night. seem more like mathemeticians. Both viewpoints help substantially! If I were only to get one of these books, I would get Schutz's first. Then get the Foster/Night. one. For example, F/N have a better treatment of the dual basis! However, only MTW treat the convenenient non-coordinate othornormal basis!
