...English professor.In the renewed “Astrophysics” concentration (“renamed from Astronomy and Astrophysics”), a similar movement for common-ground courses is taking place. Concentrators will be required to take the newly created classes Astrophysics 16: “Stellar and Planetary Astronomy?? and Astrophysics 17: “Galactic and Extragalactic Astronomy?? in the hopes that the courses will foster excitement about astronomy early in their undergraduate careers, Charbonneau says. The department has also added three more Astrophysics classes requiring only a basic level of proficiency in physics...
...Charbonneau. In order to give the new Astrophysics concentration its own introductory sequence, the revised requirements will be grounded by a pair of introductory level courses—Astronomy 16: “Stellar and Planetary Astronomy,” and Astronomy 17: “Galactic and Extragalactic Astronomy??—that resemble the introductory couplings already present in the Physics, Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Life Sciences concentrations. Both courses in the new introductory pairing will use only single variable calculus, and will provide a rigorous survey of astrophysics—addressing...
...implicit association experiments have shown that even female scientists can unconsciously associate men with terms like “astronomy?? and “chemistry” and women with “music” and “history...
...other hand, plans to offer two tracks. The first option, “Astrophysics,” is aimed at students with a good background in physics and math, according to James M. Moran, Menzel professor of astrophysics and the Astronomy Department chair. The second option, “Astronomy?? would “provide an introduction to observational phenomena and explore new and unsolved problems,” Moran wrote in an e-mail...
