Books on cosmology with solution manuals

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for cosmology books that include manuals or problem sets. The original poster mentions finding a book by James Rich, which they consider mediocre, and expresses a desire for more rigorous alternatives. They reference Ryden's book but find it insufficiently advanced. The conversation touches on the inclusion of answer sections in the Bible, specifically the 1769 KJV edition, humorously noting that many answers are simply "Jesus." A suggestion is made for T. Padmanabhan's "Cosmology and Astrophysics through Problems," which is described as a challenging graduate-level text. Additionally, a resource for video solutions related to Dodson's work is mentioned, although it requires payment. Overall, the thread highlights a need for more advanced cosmology textbooks with comprehensive problem-solving resources.

TL;DR Summary: Looking for cosmology books with manuals

Any such book available? The only one that I could find is by James Rich. It's an okayish book but any other alternatives? Ryden is also one but it's not advanced/rigorous enough for me.

I believe the Bible comes with its own answer sections.....I prefer the 1769 (KJV) edition. Some of the problem sets are difficult.

The final book (New Testament) is kind of odd, all the answers there were: "Jesus".
 
My frexhman physics book only answered every-other question in the back. Might have been good idea for the KJV. Better to have questions than dogmatic surefire answers.

I think OP is looking for something newer...

Dodson has video solutions on this website, although they charge money: https://www.numerade.com/books/modern-cosmology-2/
