Cosmology/Fridmann equation exercises around the web?

[jacdiam89]

Hello, I'm looking for exercises and problems about the Friedmann equation. For example: calculate the redshift, H0, scale factor, temperature, horizons etc given the model of universe. Does anyone know some website, or professors homepages, in which i could find this stuff?

Thank you :)

The OP was asking for exercises, not derivations.

Ok ok thank you, the website is interesting (it also gives a good explanation for frw metric etc). I realized is very difficult to find exercises with solutions, my book (Cosmologia e Cosmologie, Bonometto) has only theory, but my professor asks a lot of exercises in the exam. I have 3 or 4 exercises of past exams, but i can't use only theese to reach a good preparation. I will continue to search!

I think "Liddle" book in cosmology is a good one to start with. What about Steven Weinberg's textbook on cosmology. I think it has plenty of exercise in it.

Thank you for the 2 books, I'm trying to find some informations on the web, like the index, to see if there is a good exercise section.
