- Ability to solve typical specialized problems in a particular field of professional activity or in the process of learning that involves the application of the provisions and methods of relevant science and is characterized by a certain uncertainty of conditions - The ability to solve complex specialized problems and practical problems in a particular field of professional activity or in the learning process, which involves the application of certain theories and methods of relevant science and is characterized by complexity and uncertainty of conditions - Ability to abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis - Ability to apply knowledge in practical situations - Knowledge and understanding of the subject area and understanding professional activities - Be clear and unambiguous, allowing clear outlines content of requirements for higher education - Be diagnostic (ie learning outcomes should have objective signs of their achievement or failure).
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Have basic knowledge of hall and theoretical physics courses; in particular in mechanics, optics, electrodynamics, atomic and nuclear physics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, mathematical analysis, ordinary differential equations, and basics of mathematical physics. Be able to apply knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, mathematical physics, basics vector and tensor analysis, and differential equations for solving algebraic, differential, integral equations, and systems of equations. Have basic skills in calculating derivatives, integrals, operations with vectors, building graphs of functions, defining and decomposing functions into series, and integrals Fourier.
Course content
The course program is focused on students who are already familiar with mathematical analysis, the basics of vector and tensor analysis, and the general course of mechanics, electricity, optics, and differential calculus. The subject of study of Astrophysics is one of the most common issues in the study of space objects and phenomena physical methods, creating a physical picture of the universe as a whole within the known physical laws. Based on observations of individual objects and phenomena, using fundamental physical laws, establish the physical parameters of cosmic bodies, their chemical composition, and evolution. Modern research methods allow not only to determine the composition, temperature, mass, density, and luminosity, and set the radial velocities of the sources of radiation, mechanisms of their radiation, the speed of internal movements in them and evaluate distances to them, determine magnetic fields, etc.
