Title: "101 Cosmology: What shape is our Universe?" 

Abstract: I will introduce the concepts of modern cosmology including the fundamental underlying principles and the key ideas that govern the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang to the present epoch. Starting from basic principles, I will show how different geometries  can lead to different fates for different universes and discuss the kind of Universe we live in now.
