This book discusses cosmology from both an observational and a
strong theoretical perspective. The first part focuses on
gravitation, notably the expansion of the universe and
determination of cosmological parameters, before moving onto the
main emphasis of the book, the physics of the early universe, and
the connections between cosmological models and particle physics.
The book provides links with particle physics and with
investigations of the theories beyond the Standard Model,
especially in connection to dark matter and matter-antimatter
asymmetry puzzles. Readers will gain a comprehensive account of
cosmology and the latest observational results, without requiring
prior knowledge of relativistic theories, making the text ideal for
students. Features: Provides a self-contained discussion of modern
cosmology results without requiring any prior knowledge of
relativistic theories, enabling students to learn the first
rudiments needed for a rigorous comprehension of cosmological
concepts Contains a timely discussion of the latest cosmological
results, including those from WMAP and the Planck satellite, and
discuss the cosmological applications of the Nobel Prize 2017
awarded discovery of gravitational waves by the LIGO interferometer
and the very high energy neutrinos discovered by the IceCube
detector Includes original figures complementing mathematical
derivations and accounting for the most important cosmological
observations, in addition to a wide variety of problems with a full
set of solutions discussed in detail in an accompanying solutions
manual (available upon qualifying course adoption) To view the
