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 Ω_m, the baryonic matter density Ω_b, the neutrino density Ω_ν, and the cosmological constant Ω_Λ. The evidence currently favors t₀ ≈ 13 Gyr, h ≈ 0.65, Ω_m ≈ 0.3, Ω_Λ ≈ 0.7.
