Synopsis
Cosmology is a subject of much scientific and philosophical interest. And, mathematical cosmology is the descriptive math behind cosmology, its ideas and thoughts. Mathematical cosmology seeks to explain the often complicated theories of our universe. This book seeks to give readers a quantitative understanding of some important aspects of general relativistic cosmology starting only with school math and Newtonian ideas in physics. 309 pages. Concerned mainly with various models about large-scale structure of universe Friedmann models, steady-state models, & models involving pressure Special relativity Red-shift magnitude relations Radio source counts Olbers’ paradox (why is the sky dark?), horizons and cosmological coincidences.

The wonder and excitement engendered by this study have been the subject of much literature, including poetry (Lucretius, Omar Khayyam, Shelley, and many others). In the last fifty years the sub- ject has become a formal science in the sense that the theor ies of cosmology can now be confronted with an increasing weight of observational evidence. We feel that a subject of such philosophical and scien- tific interest has much to contribute to our culture and to the education of pupils at school and students at University. However, the difficulties of the general theory of relativity, and of establishing the connection between theory and observa- tion, have curtailed the use of the subject as an element in education. This book represents an attempt to open up the path to the frontiers of knowledge in cosmology by using only the mathematics of th. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM292-G-7382
