Computing is essential to the practice of modern astrophysics, from the visualization and analysis of large observational datasets to the numerical simulation of complex physical processes. This course develops the computational skills necessary for astronomical research and prepares students for advanced coursework. Through hands-on tutorials and exercises, students will learn to read, manipulate, and visualize astronomical datasets using basic UNIX and Python programming. The course will also include an introduction to data analysis using statistical techniques. |
