This concise textbook, designed specifically for a one-semester
course in astrophysics, introduces astrophysical concepts to
undergraduate science and engineering students with a background in
college-level, calculus-based physics. The text is organized into
five parts covering: stellar properties; stellar structure and
evolution; the interstellar medium and star/planet formation; the
Milky Way and other galaxies; and cosmology. Structured around
short easily digestible chapters, instructors have flexibility to
adjust their course's emphasis as it suits them. Exposition drawn
from the author's decade of teaching his course guides students
toward a basic but quantitative understanding, with 'quick
questions' to spur practice in basic computations, together with
more challenging multi-part exercises at the end of each chapter.
Advanced concepts like the quantum nature of energy and radiation
are developed as needed. The text's approach and level bridge the
wide gap between introductory astronomy texts for non-science
majors and advanced undergraduate texts for astrophysics majors.
