Literature suggestions

The lecture mostly follows along

• M. Bartelmann, Cosmology, https://heibox.uni-heidelberg.de/f/e1e57faba9a44eb88692/

General Relativity literature

• R. Wald, General Relativity (more mathematical)
• C. W. Misner, K. S. Thorne, J. A. Wheeler, Gravitation (very extensive)
• N. Strautmann, General Relativity (more mathematical)
• E. Poisson, A Relativist's Toolkit (easily accessible and intuitive)
• P. Jetzer, Applications of General Relativity (application oriented)

Find these books in the university library.

Cosmology

• S. Weinberg, Cosmology
• S. Dodelson, Modern Cosmology
• V. Mukhanov, Physical Foundations of Cosmology
• B. Ryden, Introduction to Cosmology
• D. Baumann, Cosmology (specially the section on Inflation)

Find these books in the university library.

Additional reading
