Quatrième de couverture
An Introduction to Modern Cosmology is a concise and accessible account of modern cosmological ideas. The Big Bang Cosmology is explored, looking at its observational successes in explaining the expansion and age of the universe, the existence and properties of the cosmic microwave background, and the origin of the light elements in the universe. Properties of the very early universe are also covered, including the motivation for the theory known as cosmological inflation. Focusing on theoretical rather than observational aspects, this book adopts a physical approach to cosmology instead of a detailed mathematical one, in particular avoiding general relativity. An Introduction to Modern Cosmology:
- Is a concise, lucidly written introduction to this exciting and dynamic subject.
- Adopts an approach grounded in physics rather than mathematics.
- Includes worked examples and student problems, along with hints for solving them and the numerical answers.
- Brings the subject to life through carefully chosen illustrations and a colour plate section.
Présentation de l'éditeur
This new textbook provides a readable and accessible introduction to the subject for those students taking a first course in cosmology. An Introduction to Modern Cosmology introduces models of the expanding universe and explores all the successes of the hot big bang, including the cosmic microwave background and nucleosynthesis. A brief discussion of the inflationary cosmology is also included. No prior knowledge of astronomy is assumed and the book′s general approach tends to avoid relativity, deriving the crucial results using newtonian theory. This allows a discussion of all the evidence in favour of the hot big bang in a treatment which is based in physics rather than mathematics.
