Course Description
This course provides introduces the main concepts and body of evidence that underlie our current understanding of the origin, structure, and evolution of the Universe. It offers exposure to the fundamental principles of special and general relativity and their significance to the evolution of the Cosmos. Topics such as stellar interiors, classification, and evolution along with galaxy dynamics are discussed in some detail. The course culminates with descriptions of current cosmological models and recent developments of the much discussed dark matter and dark energy mysteries, and what they entail to the evolution of the Universe.

Course Description
This is an introductory course to modern observational methods used in astronomy. Students become familiar with ground and space based telescopes and detectors, imaging techniques and image processing, and spectroscopy. Through practical exercises, students gain insight into how astronomical observations are carried out and the errors caused by the different techniques. They understand the limitations inherent in measurements and the capability of performing observational theses in astronomy as well as the techniques used in spectroscopy, interferometry, photometry, and polarimetry.
