Physics 20083 is the course number for the second semester of Introductory Astronomy. It is taught by Dr. Doug R. Ingram. The course has no prerequisites (some basic algebra and trigonometry will be used), and it is considered to be independent from the other semester of Introductory Astronomy (Physics 20073). Physics 20083 covers a few basic physical concepts (such as the properties of light and coordinate systems) as well as stars, galaxies and cosmology.

The course may be taken either as Physics 20023 or Physics 20083. The 20023 course consists only of the lecture, and your grade is determined exclusively from the lecture part of the course. Physics 20083 satisfies the Natural Science (NSC) requirement. In order to pass the course, you must complete 10 labs outside of class during your scheduled lab section. Your final grade is a combination of 20% of the lab grade and 80% of the lecture grade.
