history of astronomy and constituents of the Universe. It is normally offered
fall, spring and during a 6 week summer session (daytime). There is a WebCT page for my Astro 110 classes, but you must be registered (and school must start) for you to gain access. |

Astro 120 is an in person lecture class
that deals with the physical nature of astronomical objects. It concentrates
on light, telescopes, stars, galaxies and cosmology. It uses more mathematics
than do Astro 110 or 128. I teach Astro 120 in the fall. |
