Résumé

Combining the expertise of both a leading experimentalist and a theorist, this textbook presents all relevant aspects of observational cosmology and related concepts. This self-contained book assumes no prior knowledge other than basic mathematics and physics. The second edition includes new developments on the cosmic microwave background anisotropy, the Hubble constant, gravitational lensing, and neutrino oscillations.
