    Recommend to those who want to get a foundation of astrophysics. Helped me to understand if I would enjoy learning it in the future and just determining my future path.

    Nice course, a lil small introduction, but you can't get it wrong. It does what it says, not lots of maths, and DON'T TAKE THE SQUARE ROOT OF 125!
