Beginning with elementary aspects, it will lead students on to some of the most advanced concepts, including relativity, cosmic inflation, phase transitions and galaxy formation. Fully illustrated and comprehensively referenced with problems at the end of each chapter, Introduction to Cosmology, Second Edition offers the following new features:
∗ Thorough examination of the Hubble parameter and the age of the Universe with reference to measurement techniques
∗ Completely new section on gravitational lenses and other tests of general relativity
∗ Expanded sections on dark matter, black holes and cosmic microwave background
