Abstract

Cosmology is a well established research area in physics while dynamical systems are well established in mathematics. It turns out that dynamical system techniques are very well suited to study many aspects of cosmology. The aim of this book chapter is to provide the reader with a concise introduction to both cosmology and dynamical system. The material is self-contained with references to more detailed work. It is aimed at applied mathematics and theoretical physics graduate level students who have an interest in this exciting topic.
