Cosmology has evolved from a speculative field into a precision science using large sky surveys as a laboratory for fundamental physics. In this series of lectures, I will take you on a journey through our Universe across the largest scales and the longest times. We will discover the cosmic web - the large-scale skeleton of matter traced by galaxies. It arises from the interplay of the gravitational pull of dark matter and the expansion driven by dark energy. The Euclid space telescope will map the distribution of galaxies across most of the sky, spanning over 10 billion years of cosmic history. I will guide you through some of the principles and challenges behind analysing billions of galaxies in vast cosmic volumes, involving nonlinear physics, non-Gaussian statistics and big data.
