Synopsis

This volume makes explicit use of the synergy between cosmology and high energy physics, for example, supersymmetry and dark matter, or nucleosynthesis and the baryon-to-photon ratio. In particular the exciting possible connection between the recently discovered Higgs scalar and the scalar field responsible for inflation is explored.

The recent great advances in the accuracy of the basic cosmological parameters is exploited in that no free scale parameters such as h appear, rather the basic calculations are done numerically using all sources of energy density simultaneously. Scripts are provided that allow the reader to calculate exact results for the basic parameters. Throughout MATLAB tools such as symbolic math, numerical solutions, plots and ""movies"" of the dynamical evolution of systems are used. The GUI package is also shown as an example of the real time manipulation of parameters which is available to the reader.

All the MATLAB scripts are made available to the reader to explore examples of the uses of the suite of tools which are available. Indeed, readers should be able to engage in a command line ""dialogue"" or go on to edit the scripts and write their own versions.

Review

This book provides a basic exposition of BB cosmology and the inflationary model using MATLAB tools for visualisation and to develop the reader's understanding of the parametric dependence of the observables. --CERN Courier

In the context of this work, the necessary framework of simulation is given by the MATLAB environment. Moreover, the related arsenal of MATLAB contains strong solutions and on-line graphics, as well as cine representations and observation of dynamic evolution of processes. There are also many artistic representations of cosmological phenomena and hypotheses illustrated in the book. --Contemporary Physics
