Physics of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies and primordial fluctuations

Abstract

The physics of the origin and evolution of CMB anisotropies is described. I explain the idea and status of cosmic parameter estimation and follow it up with critical comments on its dependence on model assumptions and initial conditions.
