This book is unique in the detailed, self-contained, and comprehensive treatment
that it gives to the ideas and formulas that are used and tested in modern
cosmological research. It divides into two parts, each of which provides enough
material for a one-semester graduate course. The first part deals chiefly with
the isotropic and homogeneous average universe; the second part concentrates on
the departures from the average universe. Throughout the book the author
presents detailed analytic calculations of cosmological phenomena, rather than
just report results obtained elsewhere by numerical computation. The book is up
to date, and gives detailed accounts of topics such as recombination, microwave
background polarization, leptogenesis, gravitational lensing, structure
formation, and multifield inflation, that are usually treated superficially if
at all in treatises on cosmology. Copious references to current research
literature are supplied. Appendices include a brief introduction to general
relativity, and a detailed derivation of the Boltzmann equation for photons and
neutrinos used in calculations of cosmological evolution. Also provided is an
assortment of problems.
