This graduate-level textbook provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the very active field of structure formation in cosmology. It introduces the reader to a wide range of exciting topics in contemporary cosmology, uniting the latest theory and observations. The authors are all world-renowned experts, and several have written other very successful textbooks.
This advanced textbook provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the very active field of structure formation in cosmology. It is written by eleven world-leading authorities. Written in a clear and pedagogical style appropriate for graduate students in astronomy and physics, this textbook introduces the reader to a wide range of exciting topics in contemporary cosmology: from recent advances in redshift surveys, to the latest models in gravitational lensing and cosmological simulations. The authors are all world-renowned experts both for their research and teaching skills. In the fast-moving field of structure formation, this book provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a welcome textbook which unites the latest theory and observations.
