Abstract
This note details recent measurements of the top mass and cross section that have been performed at the Tevatron. Most of these measurements have been performed with between 1.0 and 2.0 fb-1 of data. Basic top physics concepts are discussed, cross section and mass analysis methods and results are presented, and future analysis prospects are discussed with a special attention given to Electroweak determination of the limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.
