In this book we will look at what planetary nebulae are, where they come from and where they go. We will discuss what mechanisms cause these beautiful markers of stellar demise as well as what causes them to form their variety of shapes. How we measure various aspects of planetary nebulae such as what they are made of will also be explored. Although we will give some aspects of planetary nebulae mathematical treatment, the main points should be accessible to people with only a limited background in mathematics.
