Abstract
It is useful to study the space of all cosmological models from a dynamical systems perspective, that is, by formulating the Einstein field equations as a dynamical system using appropriately normalized variables. We will discuss various aspects of this work, the choices of normalization factor, multiple representations of models, the past attractor, nonlinear dynamics in close-to-Friedmann-Lemaitre models, Weyl curvature dominance, and numerical simulations.
