The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the radiation left over from the Big
Bang. Recent analysis of the fluctuations in this radiation has given us
valuable insights into our Universe and its parameters. Examining the theory of
CMB and recent developments, this textbook starts with a brief introduction to
modern cosmology and its main successes, followed by a thorough derivation of
cosmological perturbation theory. It then explores the generation of initial
fluctuations by inflation. The Boltzmann equation governs the evolution of CMB
anisotropies and polarization is derived using the total angular momentum
method. Cosmological parameter estimation and the lensing of CMB fluctuations
and spectral distortions are also discussed. This textbook is the first to
contain a full derivation of the theory of CMB anisotropies and polarization.
Ideal for graduate students and researchers in this field, it includes end-of-
chapter exercises, and solutions to selected exercises are provided.
