The aim of the course is to provide the students with the physics and mathematics required to describe the primordial universe. Specifically the course covers the inflationary paradigm and the relevant impact on what we can observe today with modern instruments. In introduction to primordial nucleosynthesis is given together with the evolution of small density perturbations that give rise to the total intensity pattern of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. A brief introduction to primordial gravitational waves is also given.
The course is self-contained and, although touching advanced topics, it does not require nothing more than the usual knowledge provided during the master physics program.
