Particle Physics of the Early Universe: Course Description
Professor Frank Wilczek taught 'Particle Physics of the Early Universe' in MIT's Physics Department. The class examines foundational matter of big bang homogenous cosmos, and it is divided into three sections: general relativity, models of cosmology with idealized matter and models of cosmology with known or understood matter. Specific topics include structure formation, inflationary universe, axions, domain walls, cosmic strings, monopoles and general relativity basics. The course was delivered in lecture style format.
'Particle Physics of the Early Universe' OpenCourseWare provides access to selected lecture notes and problem sets. For anyone interested in this course and wishing to learn more, please visit the early cosmos particle physics course page.
