So I wrote a book on cosmology....

[mbond]

I have been studying cosmology, quantum field theory, and inflation all by myself, taking notes, solving the equations, and when I write down my work, it looks like a book. I think of self-publishing it; I believe it could be useful to others interested in the field.

However, I am only a retired engineer (and amateur astronomer). And I know no one knowledgeable to tell me what it is worth. So I hesitate...

I would be grateful for any advice. Of course, if someone from this forum wants to have a look at my book, let me know. I have a web page on it http://mbond.free.fr/INFLATIONp/inflation.htm.

The material in that link looks like what it is - a student's notes. It's not going to be able to compete with a standard textbook.

I think, in its current form, it is not suitable for systematic learning yet. It can be useful for some people to compare notes or double check their results.

I am interested in particle and event horizons in the ΛCDM model and spent some time on your Fig. 5.7. I noticed that ‘t = 4.02 Gpc’ probably should be ‘t = 4.02 Gyr’. Also, some of your plot results depend on input parameter values. You might want to specify them in the text.

Thank you for looking and for your comments. The web page is removed.

I'm afraid we cannot provide the review you demanded. The best we can do has already been said.
