About this title

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.
