Is College Astronomy Hard?

[Straight Talk Express]

Im talking an Astronomy class at my community college, because I need 2 science credits and chemistry would murder me. But anyways, Im horrible at math, and I was just wondering if its going to be hard? So far I've gotten all A's in my classes, and usually I get something, its just I'm not good at math. But yea, give me your opinions.

Thank you

It depends.

If it is a basic introductory astronomy class, you will probably learn basic physics of the cosmos. It shouldn't take more than an algebra background to do well.

But if it is a more in depth, theoretical astronomy class, you'll learn special relativity and other ridiculously hard stuff. Being horrible at math would be a severe disadvantage.
