The following list of term paper topics is meant to be suggestive and not inclusive. In fact some of the headings are too broad and you should narrow your paper down to some detailed aspect of the broad topic. Check with me, if you think your topic will not fit within one of these categories. Do not write on white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes.
