In this brief lecture we shall review how the standard model of cosmology accounts for the formation of the large-scale structure of the universe such as dark matter halos and clusters of galaxies. The suitable formalism is linear perturbation theory over a homogeneous and isotropic universe. We shall describe how to connect theory with observation via examples with useful numerical tools such as CLASS, which is an Einstein-Boltzmann solver code.
