Dynamics of Universe in Problems
To our best knowledge, there are no problem books on cosmology yet, that would include its spectacular recent achievements. We believe there is a strong need for such now, when cosmology is swiftly becoming a strict and vast science, and the book would be extremely useful for the youth pouring in this area of research. Indeed, the only way to rise over the popular level in any science is to master its alphabet, that is, to learn to solve problems. Of course, most of modern textbooks on cosmology include problems. However, a reader, exhausted by high theory, may often be thwarted by the lack of time and strength to solve them. Might it be worth sometimes to change the tactics and just throw those who wish to learn to swim into the water?
The proposed problems constitute our contribution to this cause. There are over 1000
problems, divided into 14 chapters, covering topics from the dynamics of the expanding
Universe and CMB to cosmology beyond the Lambda-CDM model and holography. We
intend to publish their solutions in later editions. The reader, however, is encouraged to
look for answers independently, even though – or especially so because – the problems
range from easy to not quite and from elements of scientific folklore already to those with
answers not quite settled.
Current (test) chapters include:
Category:Dynamics of the Expanding Universe
with subchapters
Homogeneous and isotropic Universe, Hubble's Law
Homogeneous and isotropic Universe, Hubble's Law - Solutions
