Modern Graduate Level Cosmology Textbook.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the evaluation of graduate-level cosmology textbooks, specifically "Modern Cosmology" by Scott Dodelson and "Introduction to Particle Cosmology" by A. D. Dolgov and Cosimo Bambi. Participants highlight Dodelson's rigorous approach but note its dated content as of 2017. In contrast, Dolgov and Bambi's work is praised for its modernity, though it lacks depth. Recommendations for more current textbooks from 2015 to 2017 are sought, with a mention of S. Weinberg's "Cosmology" as a notable reference.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cosmological principles and theories
  • Familiarity with particle physics concepts
  • Knowledge of mathematical methods used in physics
  • Experience with academic research in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Cosmology" by S. Weinberg for foundational concepts
  • Explore recent publications in cosmology from 2015 to 2017
  • Investigate advanced mathematical techniques in cosmology
  • Review critiques and analyses of Dodelson's "Modern Cosmology"
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in physics, cosmologists, and researchers seeking updated resources in cosmology and particle physics.

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In what ways is Dodelson outdated?
