In an almost Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe the linearised transfer equation is considered. Anisotropy and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (cmb) can be described. Therefore the \(1+3\) covariant formulation of the radiative transfer equation provides a convenient, exact framework within which cmb physics can be discussed. The approach appear well suited for a systematic study of second-order geometric and scattering effects.
