Hi,
My name is James and I have been interested in the universe since I was a little kid. My mom used to bring me outside and watch various events in the sky. Recently I have enrolled in school for computer programming and have noticed that the math involved seems to be my greatest interest. I have some basic physics knowledge and have read a few books such as Brief history of time, and a couple of Brian Greene's books. These books though they are great are put more in laymans terms and I am looking for something more scientific. I was wondering if someone could reccomend a good starting book on astrophysics. I have a strong desire to learn but all the books I seem to pick up seem to be more theoretical than scientific. Any suggestions would be great and keep in mind that I am a beginner and need something like a intro to astrophysics book so I am not too lost.
I ran across this site by accident and have spent every day since reading posts. It is a good feeling to be with others who share the same interests as I do as I live in a town that is very small and it is very hard to find someone who has these interests in mind to share conversation with.
Thanks
JJ
