Zusatztext "This book is one of a kind in that it not only covers the subject matter of traditional cosmology but also provides an overview of the latest results in particle cosmology at a level accessible to undergraduate students." — Danny Marfatia , Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, USA "This book by Di Bari is amazingly clear, self-contained, and contemporary. Its subdivision into short chapters corresponds well with the sequence of daily lectures. The inclusion of smart exercises and the basics of General Relativity makes this book suitable for undergraduate students. Dr. Di Bari has merged a high pedagogical quality and the latest research into the current state-of-the-art. Cosmology and the Early Universe is an invaluable tool for teachers and students." — Fiorenza Donato , Professor, Theoretical Astroparticle Physicist, Torino Universuty, Italy "A clear and up-to-date exposition of modern cosmology and the early Universe. This book will be immensely useful to particle physicists, astrophysicists and anyone interested in the history of the Universe." — Robert Foot , Research Scientist, School of Physics, University of Sydney, Australia "This book will be of great value not only to undergraduate students but also to anyone interested in learning or reviewing modern cosmology. The first half of the book provides an accessible and self-contained exposition of the so-called Lambda-CDM model of the expanding universe as well as the latest cosmological observations. The second half is an up-to-date introduction to particle cosmology, including the cosmological puzzles which cannot be explained by the standard model of particle physics. Highly recommended." — Koichi Hamaguchi , Associate Professor, Department of Physics, University of Tokyo " ’Cosmology and the Early Universe’ is an excellent introduction to clas Informationen zum Autor Pasquale Di Bari is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southampton, UK. Klappentext This book discusses cosmology from both an observational and a strong theoretical perspective. Readers will gain a comprehensive account of cosmology and the latest observational results, without requiring prior knowledge of relativistic theories, making the text ideal for students.
