A concise, accessible introduction to this exciting and dynamic subject. aeo Adopts an approach grounded in physics rather than mathematics. aeo Includes worked examples and student problems, along with hints for solving them and the numerical answers. aeo Many reviewers have commented that this is one of the best a introductory undergraduate levela texts on the subject and they would all welcome a Second Edition.
Andrew Liddle is Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Sussex. Research interests include the origin and evolution of structure in the universe and the relation between astronomical observations and the physics of the early universe.
