Cosmology seeks to characterise our Universe in terms of models
based on well-understood and tested physics. Today we know our
Universe with a precision that once would have been unthinkable.
This book develops the entire mathematical, physical and
statistical framework within which this has been achieved. It tells
the story of how we arrive at our profound conclusions, starting
from the early twentieth century and following developments up to
the latest data analysis of big astronomical datasets. It provides
an enlightening description of the mathematical, physical and
statistical basis for understanding and interpreting the results of
key space- and ground-based data. Subjects covered include general
relativity, cosmological models, the inhomogeneous Universe,
physics of the cosmic background radiation, and methods and results
of data analysis. Extensive online supplementary notes, exercises,
teaching materials, and exercises in Python make this the perfect
companion for researchers, teachers and students in physics,
mathematics, and astrophysics.
