This book is a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational cosmology and general relativity, and goes on to discuss Friedmann models, the Hubble constant, models with a cosmological constant, singularities, the early universe, inflation and quantum cosmology. This book is rounded off with a chapter on the distant future of the universe. The book is written as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It will also be of interest to cosmologists, astrophysicists, astronomers, applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists.

."..a readable introduction to the newest astrophysical observations and speculations....The strongest feature of this brief book is a well written and easily understood introduction to the physical concepts underlying quantum cosmology and inflation....Islam's book contains a nice collection of topics which are at the current frontier of research in gravity and will be an excellent supplement to a course introducing general relativity." Edward Glass, SIAM Review
