| Summary, etc |
The author – a leading theoretical cosmologist – expands on his widely acclaimed lecture notes in this self-contained textbook, suitable for the advanced undergraduate or starting graduate level. Presenting the key theoretical foundations of cosmology and describing the observations that have turned the subject into a precision science, the author keeps the student in mind on every page by explaining concepts step-by-step, in an approachable manner. After describing the dynamics of the homogeneous universe, the book traces the evolution of small density fluctuations, which were created quantum-mechanically during inflation and are today observed in the cosmic microwave background and the large-scale structure of the universe. The book is ideally suited as a course companion or for self-study. With all necessary background material covered, students have everything they need to establish an unrivalled understanding of the subject. Complete with many worked examples, figures, and homework problems, this textbook is a definitive resource for advanced students in physics, astronomy and applied mathematics.<br/><br/>Many worked examples and exercises help students build an intuitive understanding of the theory and how to apply it to concrete problems<br/>Numerous end-of-chapter problems ensure students have mastered the material before progressing any further<br/>Many high-quality figures illustrate the concepts introduced in the text<br/>Detailed appendices provide the necessary background material for a course in cosmology<br/>Online student resources – including an annotated list of important cosmology papers, Mathematica notebooks and updates on observational results – keep students abreast of the latest research<br/><br/>https://www.cambridge.org/in/universitypress/subjects/physics/cosmology-relativity-and-gravitation/cosmology-1?format=HB |
