I am a retired engineer from Sweden, with some early university studies in mathematics and physics, but I worked with inforamtion technolgy most of my work life. After retirement, I have taken up an old interest, cosmology, and last year I attended a cosmology course at the University of Stockholm (main literature B. Ryden, Introduction to Cosmolgy). It was very interesting!
