The author – a leading theoretical cosmologist – expands on his widely acclaimed lecture notes in this self-contained textbook, suitable for the advanced undergraduate or starting graduate level. Presenting the key theoretical foundations of cosmology and describing the observations that have turned the subject into a precision science, the author keeps the student in mind on every page by explaining concepts step-by-step, in an approachable manner. After describing the dynamics of the homogeneous universe, the book traces the evolution of small density fluctuations, which were created quantum-mechanically during inflation and are today observed in the cosmic microwave background and the large-scale structure of the universe. The book is ideally suited as a course companion or for self-study. With all necessary background material covered, students have everything they need to establish an unrivalled understanding of the subject. Complete with many worked examples, figures, and homework problems, this textbook is a definitive resource for advanced students in physics, astronomy and applied mathematics. Review: Excellent advanced undergraduate text on cosmology - Popular lecture notes available in book format and online resources. After Harrison's and Ryden's books on cosmology, Baumann's text is a very good reference in order to achieve the level of the classic ones (i.e. Dodelson, Weinberg, Kolb and Turner, ..). Review: Bello ma l’edizione Kindle è difettosissima. - Il libro è molto bello, chiaro e scritto bene. Purtroppo nell’edizione Kindle mancano, cioe sono in bianco, una decina di figure (a partire dalla 3.6). Io non ho trovato il modo di farmelo cambiare, Voto 3 ma sarebbe 5 senza qusto inaccettabile difetto. Nessuno in desertcart se ne è accorto? Eugenio Tabet

Un grand livre sur la cosmologie
Ouvrage remarquable de cosmologie. A mettre sur tous les rayons de bibliothèque. Vient d'être récompensé par un prix.

Cosmology is a moving target but this hit the 2022 mark.
Liked the book. Thorough for a short book especially with the Appendices. I haven't looked seriously at cosmology in many years and this is a good refresher and up-to-dater. Also looking at Barbara Ryden's book which Baumann also recommends.
