This new graduate textbook adopts a pedagogical approach to
contemporary cosmology that enables readers to build an intuitive
understanding of theory and data, and of how they interact, which
is where the greatest advances in the field are currently being
made. Using analogies, intuitive explanations of complex topics,
worked examples and computational problems, the book begins with
the physics of the early universe, and goes on to cover key
concepts such as inflation, dark matter and dark energy,
large‑scale structure, and cosmic microwave background.
Computational and data analysis techniques, and statistics, are
integrated throughout the text, particularly in the chapters on
late-universe cosmology, while another chapter is entirely devoted
to the basics of statistical methods. A solutions manual for
end-of-chapter problems is available to instructors, and suggested
syllabi, based on different course lengths and emphasis, can be
found in the Preface. Online computer code and datasets enhance the
student learning experience.
