I used this textbook in my Introduction to Astronomy class when I was a first year physics and astronomy major at university. Although my introductory physics classes rightly assumed knowledge of calculus, as did later astronomy classes, this textbook does not. In my opinion, this text is overly simplistic for science students and is more suited for the non-specialist or high school student. The text is much more focused on factual learning than on calculation; while this may be preferable to many, it is not representative of advanced studies in science.… (plus d'informations)
