Editorial Reviews
Review
“Mukhanov has written an excellent text in cosmology for students who have a good understanding of theoretical physics at the undergraduate level.”
Choice

"This book contains a thorough and modern introduction to physical cosmology...There is much in this book for experts as well as serious students of cosmology. Anyone mastering the second part of it will have a firm foundation for frontier research in theoretical cosmology."
Viqar Husain, MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Inflationary cosmology has been developed over the last twenty years to remedy serious shortcomings in the standard hot big bang model of the universe. Taking an original approach, this textbook explains the basis of modern cosmology and shows where the theoretical results come from. The book is divided into two parts; the first deals with the homogeneous and isotropic model of the Universe, the second part discusses how inhomogeneities can explain its structure. Established material such as the inflation and quantum cosmological perturbation are presented in great detail.
