Course description
This course introduces the origin of the universe, the structure of the solar system, our galaxy, a cluster of galaxies, and the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
In this course students will get a deep understanding of them by using the fundamental rules of nature such as the blackbody-radiation law in Thermodynamics, Kepler’s law in Dynamics, Doppler effect in Wave Mechanics, and so on.
Purpose of class
The aim of this course is for students to get an eye of looking at things on a global scale, and to put up his sense of question about environmental issues, peace issues, and so on.
Goals and objectives
  1. Explain the origin of the universe.
  2. Explain the hierarchical structure of the universe.
  3. Take a complicated phenomenon into some elementary phenomena and explain the essence of it by virtue of fundamental laws of Physics.
