Description

Book Synopsis
This graduate/research level text is a self-contained exposition of the applications of kinetic theory to basic problems in modern cosmology. It studies what can be concluded from the application to cosmological problems of kinetic theory and, in particular, the Boltzmann equation and its solutions.

Trade Review
"The book is of great interest for relativists, cosmologists, astrophysicists and particle physicists, as well as for theoretical physicists or mathematicians in general." Gheorghe Zet, MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
