The video tutorial introduces key cosmological parameters used to describe different models of the universe. It begins with the Hubble constant, explaining its role in determining the universe's scale. The tutorial then covers density parameters, including Omega matter and dark energy density, and their influence on the universe's shape. The deceleration parameter is also discussed. The video explains how these parameters are measured independently and introduces the Friedman equation, which incorporates these parameters to model the universe. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of cosmological models.
