  I start by defining the cosmological parameters $H_0, \Omega_m$ and
$\Omega_\Lambda$. Then I show how the age of the universe depends on them,
followed by the evolution of the scale parameter of the universe for various
values of the density parameters. Then I define strategies for measuring them,
and show the results for the recent determination of these parameters from
measurements on supernovas of type 1a. Implications for particle physics is
briefly discussed at the end.
