The course is intended as the introductory course for the astrophysical curriculum. General information will be provided. The student will be able to demonstrate a general knowledge of the various topics, at a level allowing his/her understanding of the general meaning of a scientific paper. A connection of the specific information with the more general physical culture of the student will be required.
