[QUOTE="Kelli Van Brunt, post: 6228363, member: 653509"] I think I can make a correction here, actually. My book did not define ##n## at all, but looking through later chapters it seems as though ##n## is more commonly used as a number density, rather than just the number of stars. In this case, setting n = # of stars / 4πr^2 dr would give me the same result that the book had. Sorry to inconvenience anyone with this thread, it was a misunderstanding of the variables on my part.
