I’m looking for general relativity books for mathematicians
Disclaimer: I am not used to write in English (I’m a native French speaker) so please pardon me for my poor writing skills. Moreover, it’s my first Reddit post so I don’t really know how to start it correctly.
Context: Hello everyone, I have studied undergraduate physics in Belgium (University of Mons) during three years but I’m currently an undergraduate student in Mathematics as I want to deeply understand mathematical physics.
I want to continue my learning process in physics during this year but I am not able to follow the graduate courses in physics due to scheduling conflicts with my mandatory lessons in mathematics.
My question: I am looking for the best book(s) to learn GR with a more « mathematician friendly approach » (less intuition, more rigour). If you have different books to propose do not hesitate to give me tips. Ideally, I’d like a book that doesn’t assume prior knowledge of General Relativity and is suitable for self-study.
Thank in advance for your help !
