Reading assignment is activated!


The online journal article reading assignment is now activated. It is about a planet, Kepler-10b, discovered by the Kepler space telescope. The readings include:
  1. Main article from the journal Nature, by Adam Mann. Your "'pop" reading exam will be about scientific concepts in this article.
  2. Several sources of supporting information, mainly from NASA, for optional background reading
  3. A few brain burning study problems. which will also have their own Discussion area.
There is a lot of F = ma going on in that article by Adam Mann. Put on your thinking caps!
