We determine the angular power spectrum C-1 of the Edinburgh/Durham Southern Galaxy Catalogue (EDSGC) and use this statistic to constrain cosmological parameters. Our methods for determining Cl and the parameters that affect it are based on those developed for the analysis of cosmic microwave background maps. We expect them to be useful for future surveys. Assuming flat cold dark matter models with a cosmological constant (constrained by the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment and local cluster abundances) and a scale-independent bias b, we find acceptable fits to the EDSGC angular power spectrum with 1.11 < b < 2.35 and 0.2 < (m) < 0,55 at 95% confidence. These results are not significantly affected by the integral constraint or extinction by interstellar dust but may be by our assumption of Gaussianity.
