Active Galaxies

This course relies entirely on class lectures by the instructor. The instructor will employ an interactive approach. The emphasis is on explaining processes to students and not on manipulating a bunch of symbols, aka equations. To achieve this goal, the instructor will explain the concept, solve one or two applications and then start solving problems and asking for input from the class at every point of the derivation. What the instructor writes on the board will be the result of the responses of the class. This interactive approach requires active class participation.
