Brett Phillips: Intro Post

Hey everyone,
I'm a senior in the college of engineering, studying naval architecture and marine engineering, and also minoring in economics.  I was born and raised in New York City, and have competed on the U of M Waterski Team for all four years.  Now that I've fulfilled most of my requirements to graduate, I have the opportunity to take a few classes of my choice. I have always been fascinated by astronomy and cosmology, having read multiple books and attending lectures by astrophysicists such as Michio Kaku and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, so this course was a natural choice. I am looking forward to enjoying a class outside of engineering and learning more about dark matter, dark energy, and other topics that modern physicists still do not fully understand.  This sounds like a very fun course, and I hope to take advantage of all that it has to offer.
