I'm just impressed that a community college level astronomy course had math in it. Mine was nothing but familiarizing students stargazing and terminology.

You mean college level? My stellar astronomy involved quite a bit of computation for orbits, determining the mass of stars, etc.

I recall astronomy being mostly physics. It was one of the most interesting classes I ever took.

Mine was also stargazing etc, with no math. A math based one would have been very fun but probably wouldn't enroll enough students to avoid being cancelled.
