Abstract
All new wavebands have potential for observations of cosmological significance. My task is to provide a set of useful tools for millimetre and sub-millimetre cosmologists. Much of this material is very familiar but it is useful to pull it together in a single chapter. It turned out that, once I had prepared the lecture, I realised that I had already done a very similar job 10 years ago for the Erice Summer School on Infrared Astronomy. In preparing this written version, I have therefore taken that article as a basis for the present review but bringing the subject up-to-date in the light of developments since 1978.
