Introductory astronomy books usually follow two broad paths: descriptive or mathematical. This book is fundamentally a mathematical approach but with a difference. Dr. Lawrence has written text and computer programs which emphasize concepts rather than derivation of formulas. You do not have to be a mathematical wiz to read and learn from this book.
