Contents:
Cosmological models -- Testing FLRW models -- The hot big-bang model -- Inflation -- The gravitational instability scenario -- Density fluctuations: statistical tools and observables -- The luminous universe -- A dark universe -- The Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solution -- Structure formation: a relativistic approach I -- Structure formation: a relativistic approach II -- CMB temperature anisotropy -- CMB polarization -- Precision cosmology.
Summary: "Written by one of the world's leading cosmologists, this brand new textbook provides graduate students with coverage of the very latest developments in the field. The most recent experimental results are discussed, together with the corresponding constraints on cosmological parameters. Vittorio shows what is meant by precision cosmology, from both theoretical and observational perspectives. Each section is accompanied by problems. Detailed solutions to some are provided in the text, while a solutions manual is offered to accompany the remainder. Rigorous aspects of derivations are covered in the Appendix, allowing the book to be used by students with a variety of mathematical experience"-- Provided by publisher.
