Abstract: The cosmological parameters that I will emphasize are the Hubble parameter H₀ 100 h km s^-1 Mpc^-1, the age of the universe t₀, the average matter density _m, the baryonic matter density _b, the neutrino density , and the cosmological constant . The evidence currently favors t₀ 13 Gyr, h 0.65, _m 0.3, 0.7.
