Universe – (Freedman & Kaufmann) 8th edition
Reading and HW #1 • Read Chapter 1
What This Class Will Be: • An introduction to the major research areas of contemporary astronomy: the scientific revolution, planetary science, stellar characteristics, formation, & evolution, galaxies, cosmology. • Fast-paced! • Filled with “eye candy”! • Thought-provoking.
What This Class Will NOT Be: • Boring (if it is, I’m not doing my job!). • Forgettable after the final (again, if it is I’m not doing my job!). What you get out of this class depends on what you put into it!
