This book is written from the viewpoint of a deep connection
between cosmology and particle physics. It presents the results and
ideas on both the homogeneous and isotropic Universe at the hot
stage of its evolution and in later stages. The main chapters
describe in a systematic and pedagogical way established facts and
concepts on the early and the present Universe. The comprehensive
treatment, hence, serves as a modern introduction to this rapidly
developing field of science. To help in reading the chapters
without having to constantly consult other texts, essential
materials from General Relativity and the theory of elementary
particles are collected in the appendices. Various hypotheses
dealing with unsolved problems of cosmology, and often alternative
to each other, are discussed at a more advanced level. These
concern dark matter, dark energy, matter-antimatter asymmetry, etc.

development between the first and the second editions of this book.
In the second edition, many chapters and sections have been
revised, and numerical values of particle physics and cosmological
parameters have been updated.

This book accompanies another book by the same authors,
Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang
Theory and presents the theory of the evolution of density
perturbations and relic gravity waves, theory of cosmological
inflation and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical
style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established
theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a
useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate
students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of
Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in
the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly
in a pedagogical way. These parts may serve as a detailed
introduction to current research.
