Abstract
I briefly review the main features of inflationary universe models. Inflation provides a mechanism which produces energy density fluctuations on cosmological scales. In the original models it was not possible to obtain the correct magnitude of these fluctuations without fine tuning the particle physics models. I discuss a modified model, “chaotic inflation”, in which the fine tuning problem is less severe. I also mention other approaches to early universe cosmology.
