Abstract

The following is the written version of my two lectures on the standard big bang cosmological model, including a very intuitive description of the scenario of inflation.Due to the limited time, it was only possible to give an overview of the basic structure of the subject, and the exposition is quite elementary.I have not assumed any prior knowledge of general relativity, in accordance with my instructions from the school.
