{"product_id":"modern-cosmology-9780128159484","title":"Modern Cosmology","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern Cosmology  Second Edition  provides a detailed introduction to the field of cosmology. Beginning with the smooth  homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lematre-Robertson-Walker metric  this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy  big bang nucleosynthesis  recombination  and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations  their primordial generation by inflation  and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the E\/B decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering. The Second Edition now also covers nonlinear structure formation including perturbation theory and simulations. The book concludes with a substantially updated chapter on data analysis. Modern Cosmology  Second Edition  shows how modern observations are rapidly revolutionizing our picture of the universe  and supplies readers with all the tools needed to work in cosmology. Offers a unique and practical approach for learning how to perform cosmological calculations. New material on theory  simulations  and analysis of nonlinear structure. Substantial updates on new developments in cosmology since the previous edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665992278069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0128159480","price":98.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780128159484.jpg?v=1782415077","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/modern-cosmology-9780128159484","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
