I encourage you to ask questions frequently, and even if you think everyone else in the class has already learned it or would think you are behind. The details and due dates appear below. Good luck, and please come and see me if the class appears full. Please consult the exams section for dates. This is the only textbook that is required.
Seeds also has a website with some interesting links and tutorials.
See my webpage for a link. This website is not required but may be of some use to you. For an excellent but more advanced study, I recommend, An Introduction to Astronomy by Professor Frank Shu. I recommend Nemesis by Professor Richard Muller for a lively and true story about the research that went into the discovery of the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, and of mass extinctions in general. There are many other interesting books and references.
