Stellar Astronomy Handouts
	Below is a list of the equation handouts for the Stellar Astronomy class. By clicking on the list items, you can look at the text of the handout, and even get a printout. There are also examples there to teach you how to use those equations. I encourage you to go through the examples step-by-step and not "cheat" by zipping through the parts. You'll learn much better if you take it slow! Going through these examples will be valuable, since many homework problems will be virtually identical to these examples!
