This advanced undergraduate textbook covers recent developments such as precision cosmology, inflation, gravitational lensing, and the extragalactic far-infrared and X-ray backgrounds. The book also explores future missions and facilities that will dominate cosmological research, including radio, X-ray, submillimeter-wave, and gravitational wave astronomy. Each chapter includes full-color figures, worked examples, and exercises with complete solutions, as well as key facts and equations to help students locate important information.
