Objetius

This subject is an introduction to Cosmology. The fundamental goals are that the students: (1) know the main observational evidence about composition and evolution of the Universe, (2) make specific and simple calculations and predictions within the frame-work of the Big-Bang theory, (3) know the main problems currently being researched in Cosmology and some recent discoveries. If these objectives are achieved, the students will be able to participate in certain Programs belonging to the Third Cycle,
