Aims of the course |
Aquiring
general knowledge in astrophysics |
|
|
Learning outcomes |
After
the course student knows: i) the funadmentals of astrophysics, ii) all
physical laws and understand the important physical process in the
astrophysical objects, iii) stellar properties and evolution, physics of
stellar systems, extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. After the course, the
student is capable to attend more advance courses in astronomy and
astrophysics. |
