This book is written from the viewpoint that a deep connection exists between cosmology
and particle physics. It presents the results and ideas on both the homogeneous and
isotropic Universe at the hot stage of its evolution and in later stages. The main
chapters describe in a systematic and pedagogical way established facts and concepts
on the early and the present Universe. The comprehensive treatment, hence, serves
as a modern introduction to this rapidly developing field of science. To help in reading
the chapters without having to constantly consult other texts, essential materials
from General Relativity and the theory of elementary particles are collected in the
appendices. Various hypotheses dealing with unsolved problems of cosmology, and often
alternative to each other, are discussed at a more advanced level. These concern dark
matter, dark energy, matter-antimatter asymmetry, etc. Particle physics and cosmology
underwent rapid development between the first and the second editions of this book.
In the second edition, many chapters and sections have been revised, and numerical
values of particle physics and cosmological parameters have been updated.
