A course and a book.

In 2008-autumn there will be a course in cosmology in Perimeter Institute thought by

Niayesh Afshordi, and Mark Wyman, from Perimeter Institute.

The course is based upon the T. Padmanabhan great book

Cosmology and astrophysics through problems ,published by Cambridge University press.

Although the course presenters change the place of astrophysics and cosmology in title, but they

describe in their course description that:

"This course is aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, and is inspired by a book by the same title, written by Padmanabhan. Each session consists of solving one or two pre-determined problems, which is done by a randomly picked student. While the problems introduce various subjects in Astrophysics and Cosmology, they do not serve as replacement for standard courses in these subjects, and are rather aimed at educating students with hands-on analytic/numerical skills to attack new problems."

Anyhow I take this book from library too and try to keep my paste harmonised with the course

presented in Perimeter and Waterloo physics department.
