Subjects in cosmology include:

Physical cosmology

• The Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric
• The Big Bang
  • The shape of the universe in big bang theory
• Cosmic Background Radiation
• Beyond the standard Big Bang model
  • Quasi steady state theory
  • Cosmic inflation
• The Ultimate fate of the Universe
• Large Scale Structure of the Cosmos - few 100 Mpc - a few percent of the horizon
• Galaxy Formation and Evolution
• The dark matter problem
• Dark energy
• Topological defects
• Cosmic variance

According to the proposed extreme circumstances during the first minutes of the universe's history, Big Bang cosmologists often co-operate with scientists from areas such as Particle physics.
