dc.description.abstractThis thesis contains two distinct parts: the first part introduces and explains the relevant theory and background necessary for the analytic work done on magnetized cosmological perturbations at the end of the first part. The second part discusses some issues related to observational cosmology. After an introductory chapter including an overview of the thesis, PART I starts with a discussion of the covariant approach to cosmology, introducing notation needed in the thesis. The covariant approach to perturbations is then discussed, and the basic inhomogeneity variables describing energy density, pressure and expansion pertubations are introduced. Their exact evolution equations are presented before being linearized about an FRW background.en_ZA
