Astronomy Courses
Below is a collection of links to online astronomy lecture notes and other course content for undergraduate and graduate courses I have taught at Ohio State. Links are only provided for the most recent instance of a course (many courses have been taught multiple times). More recent courses (starting in 2014) have made extensive use of the OSU Carmen learning management system, and do not have public course content.Please note that all of these materials carry an exclusive copyright. If you wish to make copies for non-commercial, educational purposes, please contact me directly in writing.
