This course is a study of the varieties of religious experience that individuals and groups use to transform their lives from a problematic state of existence to an existence that is shaped through ultimate reality and values that are based in religious belief. The problems of existence, the means of transformation, and the nature of ultimate reality of ultimate values are understood differently by culturally diverse individuals and groups, yet the transformative process itself is central to any expression of religious life. Diverse means of transformation are found in more than one religious tradition; therefore, elements of some of the world's major religious practices, i.e. Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, permeate the course. This course satisfi es the liberal arts diversity requirement.

4.00 Credits
A one-semester course concerned with the investigative tools of the astronomer and the implications of modern astronomical fi ndings. The course begins by examining the nature of the scientifi c method and by applying that method to a number of key problems from the history of astronomy. It then proceeds to cover the most recent findings as to the nature, origin, and evolution of the planets, stars, galaxies, and the Universe itself. Laboratory work includes observations with the unaided eye and the telescope, and analysis of more complex observations. This course may not be used to complete the following sequence: PHYS 181 Astronomy I: The Solar System and PHYS 182 Astronomy II: Stars and Galaxies. Prerequisites: High School algebra or MATH 011 recommended. Code 2 course fee.
