- Recent measurements of CMB anisotropy

- Cosmological parameters from WMAP and galaxy surveys

- Theory of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (S-Z) effect

- Measurement techinques: single dish and interferometric arrays

- Recent measurements of the S-Z effect

- The S-Z effect as a cosmological probe

- Cosmological and cluster parameters from S-Z measurements

- Cluster properties from recent X-ray observations

- Hydrodynamic simulations of clusters

- Predicted and observed correlations between cluster quantities

- CMB anisotropy induced by the S-Z effect
