  • 9781498755313 (hardback : acid-free paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 523.1 23 L996
Contents:
1. Particle Physics. 2. Curved spacetime. 3. General Relativity. 4. The Present Universe. 5. A First Look at the History. 6. Energy Density of the Universe. 7. Thermal equilibrium. 8. Friedmann equat6ion. 9. The geometry of the Universe. 10. Newtonian perturbations. 11. Relativistic pertubations. 12. Scalar perturbations. 13. Baryon acoustic oscillation. 14. CMB anisotropy. 15. Galaxy Formation. 16. Scalar fields: classical theory. 17. Quantum theory of a free field. 18. Inflation. 19. Perturbations from inflation. 20. Prehistory of the big bang. Appendix.
Summary: This book provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with coverage of the very latest developments in the observational science of cosmology. The book is separated into three parts; part I covers particle physics and general relativity, part II explores an account of the known history of the universe, and part III studies inflation. Full treatment of the origin of structure, scalar fields, the cosmic microwave background and the early universe are provided. Problems are included in the book with solutions provided in a separate solutions manual. More advanced extension material is offered in the Appendix, ensuring the book is fully accessible to students with a wide variety of background experience.
