This
book is based on lectures given by the author at a number of universities with the aim of
introducing Cosmology to students and teachers at the graduate level. Here cosmology is
explained within the framework of Newtonian gravity and mechanics thereby making it
readily understood to students of Physics and mathematics at the undergraduate level. The
description is up-to-date and includes cosmological models, their physical properties and
observational tests.KEY FEATURES
