Astronomy and cosmology teach us how to think. Most disciplines, from chemistry to political science and from ecology to economics, use the methods that were developed by astronomers and physicists. Astronomy uses systematic observations of objects in the universe to explain how these objects work. By figuring out how to look at these objects humans invented and improved many practical fields of science. Similar types of inspection and problem solutions are used in many other fields.
Cosmologists look at the universe as a whole.
Just hang around, and you will find out more. I will be there for you to assist in any way I can, so if you need me come to my office, approach me in the cafeteria, stop me in the corridors, or stop me right after class. I will do my best to help you refresh your memory as far as the very little math, used in this course is concerned. Many exam and HW questions will relate directly to examples and demonstrations from the lecture hall. Other exam questions will be directly related to the lab.
