This introductory textbook describes modern cosmology at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates who are familiar with mathematical methods and basic theoretical physics. An introductory survey of the large scale structure of the universe is…

This illustrated and referenced volume provides an authoritative yet concise study of cosmology. Beginning with elementary aspects, it will lead students on to more advanced concepts, including relativity, cosmic inflation, phase transitions and…

Using an extremely accessible approach, the authors present a fascinating look at how cosmic structures, such as galaxies and clusters, began and evolved. After introducing readers to the simplest cosmological models and basic observational…

Cosmology is part of the Cambridge Modular Sciences series for A and AS levels. It builds on material covered in Foundation physics, and provides an introduction to the techniques of astronomy and the theories of cosmology. It describes the history…

In 1993, Professor Rees was invited by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei to give a series of lectures reviewing the progress of cosmology and its future prospects. Based on those lectures, this volume presents a unique synthesis of our understanding…

This book is based on lectures given by the author at a number of universities with the aim of introducing Cosmology to students and teachers at the graduate level. Here cosmology is explained within the framework of Newtonian gravity and mechanics…

A concise, exciting introduction to cosmology with an emphasis on the basic principles. It is unique from the standpoint of clarity and simplicity of explanations using the application of mechanics, thermodynamics and particle physics to questions on…

This book is a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational cosmology and general relativity, and goes on to discuss Friedmann models,…

Cosmology is the science of the nature, origin, and history of the universe. This book offers an accessible introduction to cosmology. It provides an overview of modern cosmology and contains worked examples of calculations to help readers understand…
