<p>Im planning to take this course for my first semester to fulfill my physical science breadth.
I heard that it involves quite a bit of physics which im very uncertain about since im not too skilled in that area.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken this course in the past or heard anything about it?</p>
<p>Is it really that physics-based?!</p>
<p>It is the same course as Astronomy C10 - Alex Filippenko’s outstanding class. One of the best professors to teach a class.</p>
<p>No, it does not require physics, calculus or much beyond simple algebra. It is a conceptual course, a grand tour of everything in astronomy. Anytime you need a physics concept, he introduces it in a clear way, just enough detail to illustrate what he is talking about. Zero background needed. </p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - Filippenko & the moon’s orbit demonstration](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80bqhwbMXg0]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80bqhwbMXg0) for an idea of what his class is like.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIUjLPTiiD4&feature=related[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIUjLPTiiD4&feature=related</a> him explaining difficult concepts without you needing physics or math background</p>
<p>okay thank you so much for that!
i was getting a little worried but now im so excited for that course! :)</p>
