Cosmology Modern Graduate Level Cosmology Textbook.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a comparison between two cosmology textbooks: "Modern Cosmology" by Scott Dodelson, noted for its rigor but considered somewhat outdated as of 2017, and "Introduction to Particle Cosmology" by A. D. Dolgov and Cosimo Bambi, which is appreciated for its modern approach but lacks depth. Participants are seeking recommendations for contemporary graduate-level cosmology textbooks published between 2015 and 2017. The conversation also touches on the specific aspects in which Dodelson's work is seen as outdated, prompting further inquiry into the evolution of cosmological theories and methodologies since its publication.

I've been reading a lot of "Modern" Cosmology by Scott Dodelson and Introduction to Particle Cosmology by A. D. Dolgov and Cosimo Bambi. I like how rigorous and through Dodelson is but in 2017 it is quite dated. I love how modern and up to date Introduction to Particle Cosmology is but I wish it can be a bit more rigorous in and in depth. Does anyone know of any modern(2015-2017) graduate level textbook on Cosmology that they can recommend me?

I hope, it's not too old already for you, but I'd suggest

S. Weinberg, Cosmology, Oxford University Press (2008)
 
In what ways is Dodelson outdated?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
