Title: Big Bang Singularities

Abstract: We will present the classical cosmological models in general relativity that contain a Big Bang singularity and discuss their dynamics. The conjectural picture in physics was put forth in the late 60’s – early 70’s. Despite numerous efforts, it has only been partially confirmed. We will review recent state of the art mathematical results and pose questions for future work.
