The theme is cosmic evolution. It provides a guided tour of the universe to find out where and when we are in the cosmos. The presentation is descriptive and non-mathematical. It starts wtih an overview into people's ideas about the universe. After an inquiry into the origin and evolution of the solar system, a study of stars is made to find the place of the solar system in the Milky Way Galaxy. Finally, a history is presented of the physical, chemical and biological evolution of the universe, from its beginning in a big bang to the possibility of life elsewhere in the galaxy. Special topics may inlcude black holesk interstellar communication, UFOs, and missions to the planets. No preparation is assumed. Important Concepts of physics, chemistry, geology and biology are introduced in the context of the course. See ASTR 101L for optional observations. (Summer, Fall Spring)

Designed for non-science students in all colleges as well as for students planning to major in the sciences who want a general introduction to the basic phenomena and concepts of physics. The treatment is primarily descriptive, with practical demonstrations and applications and with a minimum of elementary mathematics. No previous preparation is assumed. Basic physical concepts such as energy, momentum, and electric charge are discussed as well as the porperties of gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear forces, and wave phenomena. The basic ideas of relativity and quantum theory are introduced. See PHYSCS 102L for an optional laboratory. (Summer, fall spring)
