TOP REVIEWS FROM THE EVOLVING UNIVERSE
Requires some knowledge of physics to do calculations. Concepts are well explained (with examples and graphics) so that anyone can understand the material otherwise.
An outstandingly thorough tour of the evolution of the universe ! Specifically for space enthusiasts, a single course can cover so much aspects of the universe ! Incredible !
Wonderful course! A brief introduction to cosmology but with plenty of material to cover. I recommend researching for papers additionally to the material, but you'll need more time than 4 weeks.
a novel perspective on the subject by a master of the subject -- the course itself needs more attention though; transcripts are messy and tests have typos
