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.
