This unique monograph provides a rigorous, unified, exposition of gravitational lensing in spacetimes with matter, dark energy, and black holes Can be used as a text for a graduate course or advanced undergraduate seminar Should be of interest to interdisciplinary researchers in mathematics, mathematical physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and general relativity Petters' work has been celebrated in NYTimes and Duke articles

Marcus Werner currently holds two affiliations: Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University and the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe. Werner's research interest include alternative gravity theories, cosmology and statistics, and mathematics. Arlie Petters is the Dean of Academic Affairs for Trinity College of Arts and Sciences and Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Duke University. He is also the Benjamin Powell Professor of Mathematics and a Professor of Physics and Economics. Petters has coauthored two books that have had great impact of Singularity Theory and Gravitational Lensing, (c) 2001: 978-0-8176-3668-5 and An Introduction to Mathematical Finance with Applications, (c) 2016: 978-1-4939-3781-3.
