This course covers what we know so far about the formation and structure of our universe. It will lead us back in time and out into deep space. By the end of the course, students will have a good overview of what we know, how we know it, and what big questions are still unanswered. Topics will include the history of cosmology, the Big Bang, the expansion of the universe, dark matter, dark energy, and ideas about what is in store for the future. A working knowledge of the material in Introduction to Astronomy, Introduction to Physics, Algebra and Trigonometry will be assumed.
