Introduction to Cosmology

*I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO MAKE A PRETTY PAGE ... BUT HERE ARE THE ESSENTIAL LINKS*

There is a lot of material about cosmology on the Web, but caveat emptor! Here are some reliable sources (in ~increasing order of difficulty):

Relativity FAQ (see in particular the section on ``General Relativity and Cosmology'')

A brief history of cosmology (... and other entries on the St Andrews maths archive)

Cosmic journey: a history of scientific cosmology (AIP)

Universe 101: Big Bang Theory (NASA)

Cosmic microwave background FAQ (Douglas Scott, UBC)

Cosmology tutorial (Ned Wright, UCLA)

An introduction to the cosmic microwave background (Wayne Hu, Chicago U)
