see a few thousand objects of varying intensity. They are mostly stars but there
are a few planets , comets, and meteors occasionally too. This is just our
galaxy. Our galaxy is a very small portion of the universe.
This next session is about Linear Inequalities. An inequality is similar to an equation. The difference is that it will not have an equal sign. It will be important to have a good understanding of inequalities because they pop up everywhere.
Continue reading...One of the goals in mathematics is solving equations. The most fundamental of these is linear equations. In this chapter, I discuss how to solve them.

As you can imagine, there are multiple types of explosions. There are different types of explosions because there are so many different types of stars.

Continue reading...This is the start of a new series involving Algebra and number sets. It will start out with basic Algebra but get more advanced in time.
Continue reading...The stars in our universe vary greatly. They are all different sizes and colors. Stars also have a lot of common attributes too though. Instead of talking about how they are unique, I will discuss how they are similar today.Read on if you are interested in finding out more about these incredible objects.
Continue reading...Learning to differentiate algebra functions is not hard but involves learning a few rules and some practice. In this article I want to go over these rules which will help you analyze these functions. For each example I also include a graph so you can see what the function is doing visually.

If you need additional options after that they are easy to find. LaTeX can be very useful so lets get started.
Continue reading...Exoplanets are planets that are beyond our solar system. They have been known for a hundred years or more. They are really hard to study directly. We can still learn a lot from them though. In fact, that is why we study them. Learning about exoplanets will help us learn about the formation of our own Earth and corresponding solar system. Astronomers monitor young planets to see what Earth might have been like in its early stages. In this article I want to talk about what is known about exoplanets and how they are formed. This will obviously lead into solar system formation which is pretty interesting stuff.
Continue reading...There is a lot of space debris in our galaxy. It can be large or small. Space debris can be Asteroids, Comets, Meteors, or even dust. In this article I talk about all of these objects and their characteristics. I also discuss topics such as Asteroids getting close to Earth and the once-planet Pluto.
Continue reading...The fundamentals of chemistry are a fascinating subject. They apply to almost all the other sciences as well. In this article I will do my best to explain these fundamentals so they are easy to understand.
Continue reading...In a continuance of this series today, I wanted to talk about the one-sided limits of calculus. Limits and where they lead are one of the fundamental concepts of calculus. Since limits show what happens near any particular point on a graph we need to take a look at them. Read on with me and I will explain their behavior so you can easily solve them.
Continue reading...The planets of our solar system are as varied as is life on on our planet. We know that because Astronomers are constantly learning about our solar system.

In this article I will try to answer some of these more common questions in ways that make sense.
Continue reading...Beginning calculus problems with limits of a function are a common teaching technique for young students that are just starting their journey in Calculus. Limits problems will help you understand how they work and what is going on when you encounter a function. Repetition is key here to get your brain used to thinking about what a function or a graph means. I include several examples below in order for you to practice and grasp the concepts.
Continue reading...In this article Biology For Beginners: Themes of Life, I talk about the life that is fundamental to our world. Its characteristics and depth are amazing and worth our time to understand as well as possible. Since life ties into all things it only makes sense to further our understanding. Read more if you are curious.
Continue reading...The solar system is very interesting. There are countless objects wandering around out there. We have learned much from even the smallest things like dust in space. The Solar System is a very complicated and busy place. To learn we measure everything we can and then compare constantly. That is the fun of it to me. I love looking at data and seeing how objects are different and all the ways in which they are the same.
Continue reading...How telescopes are used in modern Astronomy is changing every decade. We used to only use them to see objects with normal light. Now we can leverage our technology gains to see different wavelengths of light in the universe. This has opened up our studies with a lot more data than we previously had. This article talks about the different fields and categories of astronomy and what they mean.
Continue reading...Spectroscopy is one of the core techniques for understanding distant stars. Thanks to the fundamentals of light and how it behaves, we can collect the radiation from objects and infer many details from them.
Continue reading...If you love Astronomy, then looking at the sky is a regular task for you. Today, I would like to talk about why we see what we do.
Continue reading...When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky I always loved going out at night and seeing the sky. My home was very unpopulated and so had very little light pollution. The nearest town of 3 thousand people was about 15 miles away. So it was an incredible place to dream about what may lie among the stars. That was the start of my love for science, astronomy, and physics.
I have carried this with me my whole life and always wanting to learn more because I loved it. I have always wanted to write about it as a result. This is a short guide to the universe and includes the beginning topics. From here most of the advanced concepts come from these ideas and are developed more fully.
Continue reading...Rate of change in calculus is a series I have been wanting to do for a while. If you are a student and just starting then your in the right place. This is the very beginning of calculus and where you want to start your learning. Since there are so many topics in school that require some calculus, I felt it was important to get some basics up here for you.
Continue reading...So you are writing a paper and you need to display formulas or math in it. Then this quick beginning Latex tutorial is for you. Your paper needs to be accurate and look good. You then go to your favorite word processor to type things out. It is then you discover, maybe for the first time, that regular text editors can not do math very well. You may be trying to display physics equations, biology genes, or chemical formulas.
Whichever it is, you realize you have to be super creative to even approach the accuracy that you want. At this point you will probably start asking around or researching the best way to do this. Well let me tell you folks, there is a better way. This is when most people find out about the wonderful Latex typesetting environment. Read on and I will explain as simply as I can about Latex.

Have you ever wondered about star classifications ? Stars are classified based on their temperature, but started out being based on only their spectra. This classification process started in the 1890s by Edward Pickering at Harvard and was finished in 1901 by Annie Cannon, who worked for Pickering.
