Description
Cosmology is an increasingly high profile subject, and many universities are attempting to bring it into a fuller role in the undergraduate syllabus. This introduction to cosmology uses Newtonian theory to offer a detailed discussion of the evidence in favour of the hot big bang in a treatment grounded in physics rather than mathematics. It includes models of the expanding universe, a brief discussion of inflationary cosmology, and self-contained chapters on a number of more advanced topics such as black holes. The text takes a physics based approach as opposed to a mathematical one and includes worked examples and problems along with hints for solving them. - from Amzon
