Lecture notes for graduate-level lectures originally given at the 1998 Cargese summer school, by George Ellis and Henk van Elst. The notes give a systematic presentation of a 1+3 covariant approach to studying the geometry, dynamics, and observational properties of the cosmological models of general relativity.
