About the Book:

Astronomy Problem-Solving Guide by Stacey E. Palen offers a clear and concise introduction to basic astronomy concepts, with a focus on the problem-solving techniques often covered in beginner astronomy courses. Aimed at both students and amateur stargazers, this guide bridges the gap in student literature by presenting a comprehensive collection of problem-solving methods and examples that are typically taught in ad-hoc tutorials or on the fly.

The book provides more than 200 detailed problems along with step-by-step solutions, making it an excellent resource for learners who benefit from practice and guided examples. Over 100 charts and graphs are included to visually reinforce the concepts and to aid in better understanding the material. The problems cover fundamental topics in astronomy, including celestial mechanics, optics, and stellar and planetary observations, ensuring readers develop both their conceptual and practical problem-solving skills.

This guide is designed to complement all leading 100-level astronomy textbooks or can be used independently for self-study. Whether you're preparing for an introductory astronomy course or simply an amateur astronomer looking to deepen your understanding of the universe, this book provides a valuable tool for learning and applying essential astronomical principles.
