Abstract

At last, we can begin the study of the origin and formation of galaxies and the largescale structure of the Universe. The first two parts of this book have presented the essential framework within which these problems have to be tackled. Much of this chapter, and indeed most of Part III, is concerned with understanding howthe process of galaxy and structure formation began. What happened once these structures began to form is the subject of Part IV.
