This lecture covers the problems related to initial conditions in the universe, such as the horizon, flatness, and the inflationary theory as a solution. It discusses the evolution of scalar fields, predictions of inflation, and the evolution of density perturbations. The lecture concludes with the basic equations characterizing the universe and the Euler equations.
