ASTR 170b: Introduction to Cosmology. The primary
aim of this course is to provide a broad introduction to cosmology and extra-galactic
astrophysics. Topics covered include: mapping the properties of the Universe, its
contents, geometry and fate using a variety of probes - galaxies, supernovae, gamma-ray
bursts and quasars. The course is intended for non-science majors with high school
preparation in maths and physics. Astr 170 satisfies the quantitative reasoning requirement
(QR) and the Science Distribution requirement for Yale undergraduates.
