Experts Commentary
From The Publisher: Recent advances have made cosmology and high
energy astrophysics closely linked interdisciplinary research areas. Graduate
students now need to assimilate a broad range of physical concepts to
work in these disciplines. This innovative book provides a clear and pedagogical
introduction to the core topics needed for research in these areas through
a series of problems and answers. The problems are designed to develop
each subject in a simple and coherent way and full solutions are provided
to make this book completely self-contained. The first half of this novel
textbook covers the core subjects of astrophysical processes, gravitational
dynamics, rediative processes, fluid mechanics and general relativity.
The second half uses these concepts to develop modern cosmology and structure
formation: topics include the expanding universe, the physics of high
redshift objects and the very early universe. This unique self-study textbook
will be of key interest to graduate students and researchers in cosmology,
astrophysics, relativity and theoretical physics. It is particularly well
suited to graduate-level courses.
