New book... want...

I'm currently up North visiting my fiance. One of the rooms on campus that he frequents is filled with all manner of physics-related texts. I found this big ol' textbook called Introduction to Modern Astrophysics by Bradley W. Carroll and Dale A. Ostlie (and here it is on Amazon). Yes, indeed, it is a big bad textbook filled with chapters containing explanations on calculus and problems at the end of the chapters.

It talks about light, relativity, star formation/life, deep space objects, galaxies, quasars, and more - so much interesting stuff.

It does come with a college textbook price tag, although I think older editions would be less expensive. Maybe I can convince someone to get it for me for Christmas...

No worries, I won't be putting calc problems for you to solve on here! Unless want them. I'm still working on the basics; besides, this is a FUN blog, yes? If you really really want the calc problems I'm sure I can find some for you, though!
