MCC PHS 142 M1 Astronomy - Although not an on-line course, it comes close with syllabus, homework assignments, and links to a rich collection of supplementary material on-line based on the textbook below. Astronomy: Journey to the Cosmic Frontier provides a complete description of current astronomical knowledge, neither at an extremely technical level nor at a level that fails to communicate the quantitative nature of physical science. Although this textbook is not an on-line course, there is a rich collection of supplementary material on-line. Motion Mountain - This site publishes a free physics textbook that tells the story of how it became possible, after 2500 years of exploration, to answer questions such as: . The book is written to be entertaining, surprising and challenging on every page. With little mathematics, the text explores the most fascinating parts of mechanics, thermodynamics, special and general relativity, electrodynamics, quantum theory and modern attempts at unification. Navigating the Cosmos - Spring 2000 I am teaching Astro 346 in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Also, I am advising the Physics and Astronomy Club, and am continuing the development of laboratory exercises for the Astro 125L lab course. Last, but not least, I have assembled a team to develop an on-line astronomy course, provisionally titled "Navigating the Cosmos". Links will be added here as that develops. --Lee Anne Willson     © Copyright 2007 - Samuel J. Wormley   by swormley1@mchsi.com
