Course description
Cosmology, as a scientific field, studies the physics of formation and evolution of the Universe as a whole and its various constituents. The course provides an insight into the general relativistic background of cosmology and the thermal history of the Universe, and outlines the connections of the field with particle physics. Students can learn about the most recent results, unsolved problems, and observational projects in present day precision cosmology.
