Most of the basic results of relativistic cosmology also emerge from an equivalent treatment using Newtonian theory, although there is one stratagem that has to be used right at the beginning, because Newtonian gravitational theory cannot cope with infinities. But once used, matters become fairly simple for the Newtonian cosmologist.
