Institution:

Allen County Community College

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the science of astronomy. It will touch on physical laws and properties of the Universe, but no extensive math background is required beyond a basic understanding of algebra and trigonometry. The focus will be on rational thinking rather than on preparing students for a career in astronomy. Astronomy will simply be the tool used to help develop those thinking skills. The student will learn to observe the Universe around us and understand what those observations imply about the Universe. Prerequisite: MAT 105 or currently enrolled.
