书籍介绍

Introduction to Cosmology provides a rare combination of a solid foundation of the core physical concepts of cosmology and the most recent astronomical observations. The book is designed for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students and assumes no prior knowledge of general relativity. An emphasis is placed on developing the readers' physical insight rather than losing them with complex math. An approachable writing style and wealth of fresh and imaginative analogies from "everyday" physics are used to make the concepts of cosmology more accessible. The book is unique in that it not only includes recent major developments in cosmology, like the cosmological constant and accelerating universe, but also anticipates key developments expected in the next few years, such as detailed results on the cosmic microwave background. For anyone interested in cosmology or astronomy.

应该是比较给力的一本教科书了吧,写得要比教授讲得好
难得的宇宙学入门教程,好看
挺好的入门教材,写得浅显易懂,非常友善。虽然各个话题都浅尝辄止,但大部分重要的内容都涵盖到了,看完这个再去看inflation比较容易知道自己到底在干什么。数学部分鲜少涉及,可能考虑目标受众水平,刻意回避了QFT和GR的语言,也就牺牲掉了一些正规的证明。
Ryden這本可能是最容易讀的cosmology教材了。在不引入太多數學的情況下, 基本上研究的frontier都覆蓋了。好評。
嗯,薄薄的小书,应该是寒假回来就再没读了,大概推了遍第五章,应该还有第八章和最后一章没读,估计要推到暑假 = =写的很有意思,不用大黄书也看得懂,很棒的天文入门啦。图片没有Schneider多,内容也没有那么难,到最后才看不大懂呢。
谁再说没看完四大力学就可以读懂宇宙学的,我要把他揪出来打。。
作为introduction非常友好,个别地方讲得不算特别好,但总体已经非常好。而且居然还很有文采。
