0.1 Introduction This guide has been written as a complement for anyone who wishes to study or review the wonderful eld of cosmology. It begins by discussing some of the observational features of our universe and how this relates to the eld, before moving into the more theoretical realms. I acknowledge that this guide is a work in progress, and I don't expect a near-complete guide to be here ...
