This course is an introduction to the exciting world of astronomy.
Astronomy is the first science.
Astronomer s systematic exploration of the solar system brought us science. So this is may also be your introduction to the scientific method. For the time being the scientific method is the most useful tool that we, humans, ever had, which makes this course, well, FUNdamental. Using the scientific method astronomers explore a wide range of questions. I will be there for you to assist you 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.
