And to the fonz, you dont have to (get to? ) take any of this with an engineering degree. Ive only taken this material in third year astrophysics and fourth year cosmology, I suppose with grounding in second year astronomy. You only get to do the awful part of my degree, that is some of the physics and maths. Ugh.
