Introduction To Cosmology
This course offers an introduction to astrophysical cosmology. Concepts of the expansion of the Universe, curvature of the Universe and redshift will be studied in detail. Topics explored include the Big Bang; inflation; primordial element synthesis; the cosmic microwave background; the formation of galaxies; and large-scale structure.

Introduction to Cosmology provides a rare combination of a solid foundation of the core physical concepts of cosmology and the most recent astronomical observations. The book is designed for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students and assumes no prior knowledge of general relativity. An emphasis is placed on developing the readers' physical insight rather than losing them with complex math. An approachable writing style and wealth of fresh and imaginative analogies from "everyday" physics are used to make the concepts of cosmology more accessible. The book is unique in that it not only includes recent major developments in cosmology, like the cosmological constant and accelerating universe, but also anticipates key developments expected in the next few years, such as detailed results on the cosmic microwave background.
Following the example of previous editions of the conference, also this year there will be open popular science lectures, to which the organisers cordially invite all enthusiasts of astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. To meet the expectations of the audience, this year as many as two open lectures are planned. One lecture in Polish will be given by Prof. Marek Demiański, while the other, in English, will be given by Prof. Rien van de Weijgaert.
Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that involves the origin and evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to today and on into the future. According to NASA (opens in new tab), the definition of cosmology is "the scientific study of the large scale properties of the universe as a whole."
Cosmologists puzzle over exotic concepts like string theory, dark matter and dark energy and whether there is one universe or many (sometimes called the multiverse). While other aspects astronomy deal with individual objects and phenomena or collections of objects, cosmology spans the entire universe from birth to death, with a wealth of mysteries at every stage.
You can read more about cosmology and the foundations of the Big Bang model in Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe's Introduction to Cosmology (opens in new tab) by NASA. For more answers to common cosmology questions, go to NASA's Ask an Astrophysicist (opens in new tab)page.
