In the linear regime, the density contrast is obtained for flat, closed and open universes. In addition to the usual modes, an infinite number of new growing modes are contained in the solutions for pressureless open and closed universes. In the nonlinear regime, we obtain the leading growing modes in closed forms for a flat universe and also, in the limits of small and large times, for an open universe.latex, 17 pages; electronic address for programs correctedAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
