Course Descriptions
Introduction
to Space Science I
Credits: 2 credits
Introduction
to Space Science II
Credits: 2 credits
Location: Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History,
79th Street and Central Park West
Instructors: Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Dr. Charles Liu,
Email contact: slap@amnh.org
This course is an introduction
to the Cosmos: planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe - whose syllabus targets
the frontiers of modern astrophysics. Subjects include gravitation, the birth,
life and death of stars; the search for extrasolar planets and extraterrestrial
life; the zoo of galaxies from dwarfs to giants, from starbursts to quasars;
dark matter and the large scale structure of the universe; Einstein's special
and general theory of relativity, black holes, and Big Bang cosmology.
Prerequisite: High School Algebra and Geometry
