The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
by Clifford M. Will
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 113
Description:
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analyzing them are reviewed and updated. Tests of general relativity at the post-Newtonian level have reached high precision, including the light deflection, the Shapiro time delay, the perihelion advance of Mercury, the Nordtvedt effect in lunar motion, and frame-dragging.

Vector Analysis and the Theory of Relativity
by Francis Dominic Murnaghan - Johns Hopkins press
This monograph is the outcome of lectures delivered to the graduate department of mathematics of The Johns Hopkins University. Considerations of space have made it somewhat condensed in form, but the mode of presentation is sufficiently novel.

The Mathematical Theory of Relativity
by Arthur Stanley Eddington - Cambridge University Press
Sir Arthur Eddington here formulates mathematically his conception of the world of physics derived from the theory of relativity. The argument is developed in a form which throws light on the origin and significance of the great laws of physics.

Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: an Introduction to General Relativity
by J.W. van Holten - arXiv
General relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than mathematical formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves and stationary fields of black holes are discussed.
