Description: This course surveys some of the essential tools and explanations in an astrophysicist's toolbox. What our treatment here lacks in depth of coverage it makes up for in multiplicity of topics. Astrophysicists are generalists and as such have to call upon a variety of subjects, techniques, and talents to solve problems. Furthermore, they (we) have to be able to make quick quantitative estimates of anything and everything in the Universe, if only to ascertain whether a given explanation for a new phenomenon has any merit whatsoever. Given this, it is paramount that details not be allowed to interfere with an assessment of a phenomenon's or objects essential character. To facilitate such quick insight, a collection of basic results, simple generic formulae, and the general facts that structure one's astrophysical knowledge serves one in good stead. Moreover, the more connections you can make between the phenomena, environments, and processes of Nature; the better you understand any one of them and can extrapolate to general truths. Hence, in this course we range from the mundane to the exotic in an attempt to put this philosophy into practice. You should come away with a better appreciation of the essential meaning of the equations and principles that govern the physical universe. Good intuitions are made, not born, and with this course we hope to hone yours. Graduate students will lead discussions, write two artists' statements, have a critique with the professor, as well as midterm, final and an extended paper.
