- Summary
- Professor Joshua Winn gives a hands-on demonstration of the formulas of astrophysics. Assuming a first-year college background in physics and math, he walks you step by step through calculations that reveal the inner-workings of planets, stars, and galaxies. You discover Isaac Newton's path to his theory of gravity, calculate the event horizons for different black holes, investigate the optics of telescopes, determine the ignition temperature for a star, and much more. Throughout the course, Dr. Winn uses custom-designed graphics and animations to help you visualize what's happening. Even if you don't follow every step, you will marvel at how astrophysicists wrestle with unwieldy problems to reach new insights about the cosmos
