Spanning from Earth’s formation to the mysteries of dark matter and parallel universes, it connects historic breakthroughs with modern cosmology. Ideal for curious professionals, this book blends rigorous science with accessible explanations, making it a must-have for anyone eager to grasp the cosmos’ grand design. ## Description Ian Stewart's up-to-the-minute guide to the cosmos moves from the formation of the Earth and its Moon to the planets and asteroids of the solar system and from there out into the galaxy and the universe. He describes the architecture of space and time, dark matter and dark energy, how galaxies form, why stars implode, how everything began, and how it will end. He considers parallel universes, what forms extra-terrestrial life might take, and the likelihood of Earth being hit by an asteroid. Mathematics, Professor Stewart shows, has been the driving force in astronomy and cosmology since the ancient Babylonians. He describes how Kepler's work on planetary orbits led Newton to formulate his theory of gravity, and how two centuries later irregularities in the motion of Mars inspired Einstein's theory of general relativity. In crystal-clear terms he explains the fundamentals of gravity, spacetime, relativity and quantum theory, and shows how they all relate to each other. Eighty years ago the discovery that the universe is expanding led to the Big Bang theory of its origins. This in turn led cosmologists to posit features such as dark matter and dark energy. But does dark matter exist? Could another scientific revolution be on the way to challenge current scientific orthodoxy? These are among the questions Ian Stewart raises in his quest through the realms of astronomy and cosmology. Review: A highly informative and entertaining read from one of the world's leading mathematicians. - Calculating The Cosmos is a fascinating exploration of our cosmos, from the creation of the Earth and our own Solar System, through the Milky Way Galaxy until the end of the universe. Professor Ian Stewart skilfully uses Newtonian Laws of Gravity, Einstein’s Laws of Relativity alongside complex different equations and chaotic dynamics to explain the current theories about the creation of the universe and billions of galaxies – all without asking the reader to understand the maths! Calculating The Cosmos explains how the Newtonian Laws of Gravitation have enabled mathematicians to predict and explain the formation and existence of unknown planets and stars and their orbits, which astronomers have then been able to validate (or sometimes disprove) through observation and measurement. And equally, cosmological observations can be explained through mathematical analyses. Stewart explains how supercomputers running complex models can now determine the chemistry and orbits of stars and galaxies millions of light years away. Today, NASA and the ESA use these same programs to plan trajectories and orbits of space probes. Stewart takes the reader through logical, simple stages from the Earth’s creation to the theories behind Black Holes and Dark Matter, up to the current thinking about the end of the Universe. Each step is presented in an enjoyable and highly readable fashion. Calculating The Cosmos explains an extraordinarily complex subject in a remarkably understandable and interesting way. I have learned so much about how mathematics interacts with astronomy and how astronomy benefits from the open-minded approach of mathematicians, and also about our truly incomprehensible universe. Professor Stewart has expanded my understanding of the Earth, our galaxy and the universe, whilst leaving open so many intriguing questions.
