* 2007 Taipei School/Workshop on Large Scale Structures of the Universe


(Lecture Notes available by double clicking the links below)


Date: 2007/05/28 – 2007/06/02
Place: Room F104, Science Building, Science Campus of NTNU

Introduction:

The origin and evolution of the large scale structures remains one of the most important topics in modern cosmology. Though the discovery of dark energy led us venturing into an uncharted territory, large piles of precise observational data and efficient numerical techniques have helped the study on the Universe continue to thrive in the 21st century.

The purpose of this School/Workshop is to introduce students and faculties in Taiwan the progress and the state of the art in this fascinating frontier of physics and astronomy.
