Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics:Volume 1

This is an excellent series Vol 1 thur 3 for the person wishing to review the basics of stellar astrophysics. I stress the words review for the author assumes at least a basic level of knowledge on how astronomical data is measured. The reader is cautioned to be versed in basic mathematical skills up through the beginning calculus level as detailed worked out examples are not provided in the text. At the conclusion of this and Volumes 2 and 3 are a series of chapter review problems for which there are no answers provided. Volume 2 and 3 deal with stellar atmospheres and interiors.This is a good set of volumes and worth having if you are knowledgeable in the subject. It is not a self teaching set but a sound set to be used for classroom work at the intermediate level.My only real complaint was that the author did not provide worked out answers to the problem sets at the end of each book.

I have to say, I thought this book was a bit pricey at $2,420, but you really need to think about what you're getting.Once you've sold your car to be able to afford it, you can just use the hard-cover (shiny but not too slippery) to sled to school. What's that you say? You can't sled both ways? Well that's okay; you should never go home, because that's how the debt collectors get you.I'm just glad they finally found something to print on the wood pulp from Jesus's cross.

The condition of the book is very good. I would like to buy from this seller again.Thanks
