Abstract

The cosmological parameters that I will emphasize are the Hubble parameter $H_0 \equiv 100 h$ km s $^{-1}$ Mpc $^{-1}$ , the age of the universe $t_0$ , the average matter density $\Omega_m$ , the baryonic matter density $\Omega_b$ , the neutrino density $\Omega_\nu$ , and the cosmological constant $\Omega_\Lambda$ . The evidence currently favors $t_0 \approx 13$ Gyr, $h \approx 0.65$ , $\Omega_m \approx 0.3$ , $\Omega_\Lambda \approx 0.7$ .
