Paths to Dark Energy : Theory and Observation Hardback
by Gene Byrd, Arthur D. Chernin, Pekka Teerikorpi, Mauri Valtonen
Part of the De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics series
Hardback
Description
This work provides the current theory and observations behind the cosmological phenomenon of dark energy.
The approach is comprehensive with rigorous mathematical theory and relevant astronomical observations discussed in context.
The book treats the background and history starting with the new-found importance of Einstein's cosmological constant (proposed long ago) in dark energy formulation, as well as the frontiers of dark energy. The authors do not presuppose advanced knowledge of astronomy, and basic mathematical concepts used in modern cosmology are presented in a simple, but rigorous way.
All this makes the book useful for both astronomers and physicists, and also for university students of physical sciences.
