COURSE SUMMARY: The first lecture will lay down the road
map of physical cosmology, from the very early universe
(inflation) through present day observables (large scale
structure and CMB temperature fluctuations). Based on
student interest, we will then survey other principal topics
in physical cosmology -- Friedmann models, preheating,
cosmological perturbations, and gravitational instability
in an expanding universe -- or, alternatively, we will
concentrate more deeply on one subject of common interest.
