Book Description
The content of this book is organized to align with and supplement the syllabus of the Introduction to Astronomy course at Fanshawe College. The course presents an exclusively scientific survey of modern astronomy, from cosmology and galaxies, to stars, planets, and atoms. It also highlights the impact of astronomical developments on history and culture and encourages an appreciation for astronomy in the context of overall human existence.
The outline and the in-depth syllabus for the course, in its present form, have been developed over several semesters of first-hand delivery by Dr. Iftekhar Haque, professor of science and mathematics at Fanshawe College. Dr. Haque would like to acknowledge the valuable roadmap through the vast field of astronomical knowledge provided by the original outline for the course, developed by Peter Jedicke, former Fanshawe College faculty.
