Watching the science channel, and reading all these questions in this section, has really piqued my interest in astronomy and science. I've always been more of a liberal arts person (that's what my degree is in), and have never cared much for science. Now, i'm beginning to feel like I missed out on some very interesting and valuable information that could help me to understand some of these fascinating things that i'm reading and hearing about. I was considering taking an astronomy course this Summer....for those of you that have studied the subject, could you perhaps tell me what a beginning Astronomy college course would entail? For instance, is it more of a math oriented subject? Or would it deal more with info about the stars, earth, and solar system? If it's more math oriented, then it's probably not for me. Outside of taking a class, do any of you have any books you could recommend reading, that wouldn't be hard for a novice to understand?
