Cosmology - the science of the Universe at large - has experienced
a renaissance in the decades bracketing the turn of the
twenty-first century. Exploring our emerging understanding of
cosmology, this text takes two complementary points of view: the
physical principles underlying theories of cosmology, and the
observable consequences of models of Universal expansion. The book
develops cosmological models based on fundamental physical
principles, with mathematics limited to the minimum necessary to
keep the material accessible for students of physics and astronomy
at the advanced undergraduate level. A substantial review of
general relativity leading up to the Einstein field equations is
included, with derivations of explicit formulations connecting
observable features of the Universe to models of its expansion.
Self-contained and up to date in respect of modern observations,
the text provides a solid theoretical grounding in modern cosmology
while preparing readers for the changes that will inevitably come
from future observations.
