本课程旨在培养对现代宇宙学物理原理的透彻理解。学生将学习宇宙热大爆炸历史的基本物理原理，
包括核合成、重组、结构形成和宇宙微波背景。除了标准宇宙学模型外，本课程还将让学生了解与宇
宙暴涨和暗能量有关的最新发展。
The course aims at developing a thorough understanding of the physical principles of modern cosmology.
Students will learn the fundamental physics underlying the hot Big Bang history of the universe, including
nucleosynthesis, recombination, structure formation and the cosmic microwave background. In addition to the
standard cosmological model, the course will also expose students to more recent developments related to
cosmic inflation and dark energy.
