Fundamentals of Astrophysics

Beschreibung

A concise textbook for a one-semester course for science and engineering majors who have taken college-level, calculus-based physics. Filling a niche between introductory astronomy books for non-science majors and advanced texts, it presents a quantitative overview of stars, exoplanets, the interstellar medium, galaxies, and big-bang cosmology.
