It begins with a survey of the astrophysical phenomena, from rotation curves to lensing and cosmological structure formation. It goes on to offer the most comprehensive overview available of all three major theories, discussing weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), axions, and primordial black holes. The book explains the constraints on each theory, such as direct detection and indirect astrophysical limits, and enables students to build physical intuition using hands-on exercises and supplemental material.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe only book to treat extensively WIMPs, axions, and primordial black holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides balanced coverage of the evidence, theory, and testing for dark matter from astrophysics, particle physics, and experimental physics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes original problems and short quizzes throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccompanied by Jupyter notebooks that give sample calculations and methods to reproduce key results and graphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and an essential reference for researchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid J.
