Astrophysics and Cosmology through Problems |
Instructors: Niayesh Afshordi, Perimeter Institute and Mark Wyman, Perimeter Institute Type: Guelph-Waterloo Physics Institute credit course Dates: September 4 - December 18, Thursdays from 10:00 am - 11:30 am and 12:30 - 2:00 pm Location: Perimeter Institute, Alice Room | | |
Course Description This course is aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, and is inspired by a book by the same title, written by Padmanabhan. Each session consists of solving one or two pre-determined problems, which is done by a randomly picked student. While the problems introduce various subjects in Astrophysics and Cosmology, they do not serve as replacement for standard courses in these subjects, and are rather aimed at educating students with hands-on analytic/numerical skills to attack new problems. Shuttle Service Transportation may be available on Perimeter Institute’s shuttle van service. For availability and contact information please click here. |
