Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A companion to Schutz's third edition textbook, offering detailed solutions and curated references to the most useful supporting literature.
MoreLong description:
This comprehensive and up-to-date manual accompanies the third edition of Bernard Schutz's A First Course in General Relativity. It offers step-by-step guidance through more than 200 selected exercises, providing detailed solutions and explanatory comments which are cross-referenced to the relevant equations and sections in Schutz's text. The material is further extended by the inclusion of 168 supplementary problems that highlight conceptual challenges and direct readers to the most useful supporting literature. A comprehensive index with bolded keywords allows for quick navigation, while an appendix of useful results makes the book a lasting reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, instructors, and self-directed learners seeking a deeper understanding of the subject. A Mathematica notebook and tables of exercises and supplementary problems are freely available as online resources, with instructors benefiting from access to solutions to selected exercises and problems.
'Robert B. Scott has done a great service to students and instructors alike by compiling this superb Student's Manual to Bernard Schutz's A First Course in General Relativity, a classic introductory textbook on general relativity. Not only does Scott present exquisitely detailed solutions to Schutz's exercises, he also proposes a large number of his own problems to further test the student's understanding. The student will benefit greatly from this resource, and will be eased into the subject by Scott's excellent advice.' Eric Poisson, University of Guelph, Ontario
