Course Description
While Astronomy is concerned with the contents of the Universe, Cosmology is the science of the origin, current state and ultimate fate of the universe. In this course, the foundations of modern cosmology are presented from a historical perspective, covering the physical fundamentals, the impact of Einstein's Theories of Relativity on modern cosmologies, and, finally, from the perspective of the most recent astronomical discoveries.
