Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lema?tre-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. This revised third edition includes updates such as new sections on gravitational waves, line intensity mapping, and emergent analysis techniques; expanded sections of CMB secondaries; and revised figures and pedagogy. These revisions serve to enhance a comprehensive foundational text, as well as provide users with improvements that are aligned with recent advances in the field, as well as modern focuses in the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Dodelson, Fabian Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0443288283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780443288289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Scott Dodelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545852203263,"sku":"9780443288289","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dabee95-50e0-4a68-b527-fd93b8503909.jpg?v=1738183513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-cosmology-scott-dodelson-9780443288289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
