The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the radiation left over from
the Big Bang, is arguably the most important topic in modern
cosmology. Its theory and observation have revolutionized cosmology
from an order-of-magnitude science to a precision science. This
graduate textbook describes CMB physics from first principles in a
detailed yet pedagogical way, assuming only that the reader has a
working knowledge of General Relativity. Among the changes in this
second edition are new chapters on non-Gaussianities in the CMB and
on large-scale structure, and extended discussions on lensing and
baryon acoustic oscillations, topics that have developed
significantly in the last decade. Discussions of CMB experiments
have been updated from WMAP data to the new Planck data. The CMB
success story in estimating cosmological parameters is then treated
in detail, conveying the beauty of the interplay of theoretical
understanding and precise experimental measurements.
