Status of observational cosmology and inflation

Abstract

We review the latest developments in the determination of the cosmological parameters from the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) anisotropies and of the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe. We comment finally on the implications for the primordial spectrum and the consequences for inflationary models.
