Abstract
In this lecture, I present the method used to measure the cosmological parameters using type la supernovae (SNe Ia) in section 1 and discuss SNe la as cosmological tools in section 2. The detection and follow-up of highredshift supernovae is presented in section 3 and in section 4, recent results on the measurement of Ho, S2M and QA are reported. Prospects for the near future are briefly discussed in section 5.
