- catalog abstract ""This textbook provides graduate students with a thorough and up-to-date introduction to inflationary cosmology. Enormous progress has been made in this area in the past few years and this book is the first to provide a modern and unified overview. It covers all aspects of inflationary cosmology - from the origin of density perturbations during the inflationary epoch of the very early Universe, through the evolution of the perturbations up to the present for a range of possible cosmologies - and carefully compares predictions with the latest observations, including those of the cosmic microwave background, the clustering and velocities of galaxies and the epoch of structure formation. To help the student to develop a thorough understanding, problems are provided at the end of each chapter, and numerical answers and hints are included at the end of the book."--Jacket.".
