Your
Cosmic Context: An Introduction to Modern Cosmology
by
Todd Duncan and Craig Tyler
Todd and Craig
have finished a textbook (Your Cosmic Context: An Introduction
to Modern Cosmology). The book introduces the core ideas
of modern cosmology with an emphasis on connecting insights
from scientific cosmology to your own life and sense of place
in the universe. It's intended as a self-study introduction
to the subject and as the text for an introductory course
in cosmology for students not specializing in physics or astronomy.
Cosmology
Class Project
In Todd's general
education Cosmology class the students create a final project.
The project is based on something in cosmology that captures
the students' interests and have ranged from measuring the
distance to the moon to creating a cosmic song, skirt, game,
or poster. One group of students wrote a humorous and informative
pop culture magazine Cosmology
(5.7 MB PDF) that we'd like to share with you.
