About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The Poincaré Seminar is held at the Institute Henri Poincaré in Paris twice a year. This volume contains lectures presented at the Poincaré Seminar focused on Gravitation and Experiment which took place in October 2006. The editors made particular effort to present the chosen topics in a pedagogical form accessible to mathematicians and physicists not only at the professional level but also at graduate student level.” (Vojtěch Pravda, Applications of Mathematics, Vol. 54 (6), 2009)
