obtaining deep and systematic knowledge of methods and instruments for research using general astrometry methods, which includes acquiring knowledge about modern methods of astrometry and their use in practice (including the latest ones, such as radio interferometry and laser location), as well as about the errors of experimental research (observations), the features of methods for processing and interpreting observation data, and generalizing the results obtained. Developing the ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources, including electronic resources, and the ability of students to abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis of material from various physical, mathematical and computer disciplines.

Full-time form

Know the basic laws of mechanics, trigonometry, algebra and physics within the general university courses. Have basic knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics. Be able to apply previous knowledge within the initial mathematics and physics courses. Have elementary skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, actions and operations with vectors, graphically plot function graphs, define and expand functions into series. Have an idea of ​​the Fourier series.

The discipline "General Astrometry" is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists of the educational and qualification level "bachelor" in the specialty "Physics and Astronomy". The course program is oriented towards students who are already familiar with the basics of higher mathematics and physics in the amount of initial general courses. The learning outcomes consist in obtaining knowledge about the current state of general astrometry, which is the basis for all subsequent astronomical courses. The methods of general astrometry are basic and specific for astronomy in general. Students are first introduced to the methods of constructing coordinate systems, time counting, and reduction calculations in astronomy. All these methods are necessary for any planning of astronomical observations and are needed by any astronomer. Teaching methods: lectures, consultations. Assessment methods: surveys in the process of classes, tests after the main sections of the course, credit. The final grade is based on midterm grades (40%) and final exam (60%).
