3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: permission of department. Recommended: computer programming knowledge. For ASTR majors only. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ASTR498C or ASTR415. Formerly ASTR498C. Introduction to the most important computational techniques being used in research in astrophysics. Topics include modern high performance computer architectures, scientific visualization and data analysis, and detailed descriptions of numerical algorithms for the solution to a wide range of mathematical systems important in astrophysics.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ASTR121, PHYS270, and PHYS271 (Formerly PHYS263) or PHYS273. For ASTR majors only. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ASTR421 or ASTR498G. Formerly ASTR498G. Introduction to structure, kinematics, and dynamics of normal and peculiar galaxies. Quantitative descriptions of normal spiral galaxies (like our Milky Way) and elliptical galaxies will be followed by more exotic considerations such as interacting and merging galaxies, and active galactic nuclei.
