The topics covered range of several aspects of modern cosmology from observational matters to advanced theoretical speculations. The lectures included: an overview of the physics of the early universe; an introduction to the physics of cosmology; cosmological models; inflationary cosmology and the creation of matter in the universe; dark matter and physics particles; supergravity and cosmology; the cosmic microwave background; dark matter search with innovative techniques; signals from a dark universe; neutrino oscillations; modern observational cosmology; clustering in the universe; galaxy space distribution; gravitational lensing; and numerical simulation in cosmology.
