Fundamentals of Cosmology

Author: James Rich

Description

The book provides a comprehensive and thorough explication of current cosmology at a level appropriate for a beginning graduate student or an advanced and motivated undergraduate. It covers all relevant concepts of cosmology and pertinent general relativity and contains a significant number of exercises, with solutions to a sample set. This book clearly is the result of the refining of notes from a course on cosmology .It provides a summary of current observations and mathematical underpinnings of the physical principles. This is an extremely valuable contribution in the filed, which has been changing rapidly as a result of new technology and new theoretical motivations from the related field of high-energy physics .This book provides a good look at the intellectual effort and a solid foundation for the new discoveries soon to come.
