Reviews
'An incredibly practical approach to introducing pivotal concepts in cosmology, with a preciously rare focus on preparing its readers to engage with the science of cosmology in a real-life manner.' Vera Gluscevic, University of Southern California 'This superb first introduction to cosmology for advanced undergraduate or graduate students is sure to inspire and teach young inquisitive minds for years to come. Huterer weaves the history of the field with elegant and lucid explanations of the most salient topics in modern cosmology.' Balsa Terzic, Old Dominion University 'This is a welcome addition to the growing number of textbooks on cosmology. The subject is concisely but exceptionally clearly presented, suitable for a one-semester course. The book stands out by covering the full range of material needed for a beginning graduate student contemplating entering research in cosmology: from the foundations all the way to active research topics, such as neutrinos, dark energy, modern large-scale structure and cosmic microwave background experiments, as well as analysis techniques. I am looking forward to adopting this book for my own cosmology course.' Zoltan Haiman, Columbia University 'A clearly written introduction to astrophysical cosmology emphasizing data/theory connections. This text is unique in introducing the relevant techniques for those new to the field.' Curtis Struck, Iowa State University 'A complete guide to form the next generation of well-rounded cosmologists. This book is a unique combination of theoretical, observational, and statistical aspects, with pedagogical and extensive descriptions of modern statistical methods in cosmology.' Alessandra Silvestri, Leiden University
Author Information
Dragan Huterer is a professor of physics at the University of Michigan, where he studies cosmology at the interface of theory and data. He is a leading expert in developing data-driven techniques to understand the nature and origin of 'dark energy,' a component that dominates the dynamics of the universe and causes its accelerated expansion. A fellow of the American Physical Society, he is also a recipient of the University of Michigan's Henry Russel Award and the Humboldt Foundation's Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Award.
