We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional powerspectrum P(k) from over 200 000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) in combination with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)and other data. Our results are consistent with a “vanilla”flat adiabatic cold dark matter model with a cosmological constantwithout tilt (ns=1), running tilt, tensor modes, or massiveneutrinos. Adding SDSS information more than halves the WMAP-only errorbars on some parameters, tightening 1σ constraints on the Hubbleparameter from h≈0.74+0.18-0.07 toh≈0.70+0.04-0.03, on the matter density fromΩm≈0.25±0.10 toΩm≈0.30±0.04 (1σ) and on neutrino
