Astronomy

We will be using Universe, 8/e, William J. Kaufmann III, Roger A. Freedman (W. H. Freeman and Co.). This is a college level introduction to astronomy intended for both science and non-science majors. It is supported by a "companion website" Freeman Astronomy, and we will be using this as a source for some quiz drill work.

You may order all texts through Scholars Online Bookstore. Be sure to order the version (ISBN #0716795647) containing the CDROM.
