Cosmology

3 credits · Graduate

A self-contained introduction to cosmology will be given and no prior knowledge of differential geometry of general relativity will be assumed (although some knowledge or elementary differential equations will be useful). A cosmological model is a model of the universe, as a whole, on the largest scales; the emphasis of the course will be on the modelling aspects of cosmology.
