Scientific paper

We review the current status of cosmological parameters, dark energy and large-scale structure, from a theoretical and observational perspective. We first present the basic cosmological parameters and discuss how they are measured with different observational techniques. We then describe the recent evidence for dark energy from Type Ia supernovae. Dynamical models of the dark energy, quintessence, are then described, as well as how they relate to theories of gravity and particle physics. The basic theory of structure formation via gravitational instability is then reviewed. Finally, we describe new observational probes of the large-structure of the universe, and how they constrain cosmological parameters.
