Abstract
A two-quarter introductory course in geophysics at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level is described. Development and teaching of the course have been shared by a physicist and a geologist. The course aims primarily to provide a broad picture of the earth in terms of the physical processes which shape it. After a brief section on introductory geology, the topics covered are geochronology, origin and chronology of the solar system, gravity, seismology, heat, the earth's magnetic field and paleomagnetism, and geotectonics. Extensive use is made of students' previous background in mathematics and physics.
