Cosmology
The laws of physics applied to the Universe at large: its featureless beginning in the Big Bang, its fundamental constituents including radiation, atoms, and dark matter; the discoveries of universal expansion and dark energy, and a structure reflected in the web of galaxies. Designed for science and engineering majors. Astronomy 376 (Topic: Cosmology) and 376C may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
