Lectures given at the 5th Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics in Nov. 2002.
An Introduction to Standard Cosmology --;Inflation- In the Early Universe and Today --;Cosmic Acceleration, Scalar Fields and Observations --;Lectures on the Theory of Cosmological Perturbation --;Measuring Spacetime: From Big Bang to Black Holes --;The Accelerating Universe and Dark Energy: Evidence From Type Ia Supernovae --;Quintessence and Dark Energy --;Qunintessential Inflation at the Maxima of the Potential --;Quantum Corrections to Scalar Quintessence Potentials --;Electroweak Baryogenesis and Primordial Hypermagnetic Fields --;Infering Annihilation Channels of Neutralinos in Galactic Halos --;Brane World Cosmology --;Inflation and Braneworlds --;Creation of Brane Universes --;The Scalar Field Dark Matter Model: A Braneworld Connection --;Cosmological Applications of Loop Quantum Gravity.
Spectacular experimental advances in observational cosmology have helped raise cosmology to the status of a genuine science, and it is now possible to test many speculative theoretical issues and to obtain reliable values for the key parameters defining our observable universe.
