Topics in cosmology and particle physics

In these three lectures, some of the major topics are reviewed which concern both particle physics and cosmology. In the first lecture, a general overview of the standard cosmological Big Bang model is given, and Big Bang nucleosynthesis is briefly gone over as well as Big Bang baryosynthesis. In the second lecture, the inflationary model is reviewed with particular emphasis on supersymmetry. In the final lecture, the dark matter problems which confront cosmology today and their demands on elementary particle physics are discussed
