The spatial two point galaxy correlation function, ξ(r), is, at present, the most useful statistic for comparing theoretical models to observational data. We have derived expressions for the dynamical evolution of ξ for structures arising from Gaussian initial conditions under the assumption that non-linear evolution may be described by the Zel'dovich approximation. The observed angular correlation function, w(θ), places constraints on the spectrum of initial fluctuations on large scales.
