GazOC Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 It's a Level 2,30 point course on Astronomy and basic Cosmology. It covers star formation/evolution then goes on to galaxies etc. Quite a bit of maths which I found tricky!!http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C02S282 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazOC Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 The thing with some of the courses is that they say you just need 'basic maths' to complete the course, but they have a funny definition of 'basic'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
