Abstract
In this paper we study classical and quantum cosmology in Kantowski-Sa chs model using Ashtekar variables. Classical solutions are obtained f or the above model with a cosmological term and Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) e quations have been studied to obtain inflationary solutions. In quantu m cosmology, the wave function of the Universe is obtained using path integral formalism as well as by solving the Wheeler-DeWitt (WD) equat ion.
