General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. General relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics. Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation covers the fundamentals of the subject.Designed for the undergraduate student the aim of this book is to describe the universe as revealed by observation and to present a theoretical framework to enable important cosmological formulae to be derived and numerical calculations performed.
