    Free astronomy course offered by Duke

    I don't know if this has been mentioned in another thread, but it looks interesting. There is a free online course called Introduction to Astronomy taught by a professor from Duke University. It doesn't start for several more months, but since it's free I already registered.

    I watched a bunch of the free Yale lectures. This could be a good find. I'll take a look, thanks!

    My fiancee is a grad of Duke and thought it was awesome to see them offering this. I'll likely take it come November. Should be fun!

    Whoops! I should have provided a link. I believe this is the intro class you're referring to from Duke.

    ***Edit: Just noticed that the link was provided in the original post. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the link until I switched forum themes.

    I'm enrolled since mid October . This past Monday they send me a material to refresh algebra and scientific notation ... This looks like is gonna be great , for me this is a really good chance to get closer to something i really like and love so much . In my country ( like must 3rd world countrys ) this kind of science material is completely unavailable.

    A reminder to anyone who is interested, that this course starts today. According to the email I got, it will start at Noon Eastern Time ( GMT + 5). BTW, Manuel809, welcome to Cosmoquest.
