The BigBOSS survey aims to map an unprecedented volume of the Universe, covering 14000 sq.deg. and redshifts to z=3. These measurements will precisely constrain the expansion and linear growth
rate of the Universe through the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and redshift space distortion (RSD) methods. We present the latest predictions of these measurements, and discuss their ability to constrain dark energy properties, both by themselves and in combination with existing and planned measurements. In addition to the dark energy science, BigBOSS will strongly constrain other cosmological parameters like the neutrino mass and the spectrum of initial density perturbations, as well as test for deviations from our standard model like non-Gaussianities in the initial conditions. We summarize the constraints achievable by BigBOSS
and improvements over current surveys.
