Introduction to Astronomy is an
amazing astronomy course by Professor Ronen Plesser of Duke University.
The course is offered through Coursera, an online learning platform. This is an ideal course for the students who are preparing for astronomy Olympiad.
Here are the notes from Olivier Henry (henry@alumni.caltech.edu), based on Introduction to Astronomy course. These notes cover most of the topics needed to learn for astronomy olympiad. I hope it'll help most of you.
P.S Coursera isn't offering the course at the moment. Still you can sign up for future sessions. Click here

Around which time of the year is this course available in coursera?
ReplyDeleteIt usually starts in December.
DeleteThe fact that these notes were based on this course and that it doesn't cover all the topics ( you said 'mostly' ) means that this course itself doesn't cover all the topics. What are the topics that this course doesn't cover?
ReplyDeleteGo through the IOAA syllabus, and you can figure out by yourself.
DeleteI found a course on edX that is offered.
