Understanding the Universe in a Newtonian Perspective

In this paper, we discuss the main current cosmological ideas using concepts of newtonian gravitation, fluids and the laws of thermodynamics. The approach presented here can be made in a introductory undergraduate course in the area of exact sciences.
