Attention: Offered in English in Fall 2022!

Introduction to Astrophysics (PHYS 4330)

This course is aimed at building a solid foundation for science majors inclined to pursue research in astronomy related fields.  Lectures in the first semester cover broad, considerable knowledge of modern astrophysics, including astronomical measurements, physical processes in celestial  objects, dynamics in stellar systems, (the Solar system objects if time allows), etc.  Students must have prerequisite skills in physics at undergraduate level unless otherwise approved by the instructor.

這門課是針對可能從事天文物理研究，或對天文物理有興趣的同學而設計。目的在於為將來可能進行的天文研究計畫作合理的準備。第一學期的課程包含基本的天文現象、座標系統的介紹及深入地探討部份的天文物理系統，如恆星天體內的物理狀態及輻射機制、恆星演化、系統動力學、（太陽系）等。 除非經任課教師同意，修課學生必須具備等同於物理系學士班三年級以上的物理及數學訓練。
