Rich clusters of galaxies, the largest virialized systems known, place some of the most powerful constraints on cosmology. I discuss below the use of clusters of galaxies in determining two fundamental properties of the universe: the mass-density of the universe, and the distribution of dark matter.
Galaxy cluster peculiar velocities can be inferred from high-sensitivity, high-resolution multiple-kequency observations in the 30 to 400 GHz range. While galaxy cluster counts and power spectra are sensitive to the growth factor, peculiar velocities are sensitive to the timederivative of the growth
