Below are links to a series of quantitative skill exercises that I have been developing. Each begins with a description why that skill is important, followed by several worked examples, then a series of exercises for the student to complete. These exercises include (a) “real world” problems and (b) astronomy-focused problems. I will update these as I continue classroom testing. If you are interested in participating in this effort, please contact me!
Please use and adapt these as you see fit (for educational use only). I invite and welcome your feedback, improvements, additions, etc.
