Abstract
Many pedagogical introductions of cosmological inflation are effective due to the simplicity of the relevant equations. Here an analytic solution of the cosmological equations is presented and used as an example to discuss fundamental aspects of the inflationary paradigm.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, to appear in Am. J.
