Astronomy · Columbia University
There were some cool topics and lectures. It's mostly introductory topics, especially in the beginning, but there are a few higher level (but still accessible) lectures later on
A lot about fluid dynamics (Euler/Navier-stokes and applications); great overview of plasma physics
I found the course difficult and the material hard to follow. There didn't always seem to be a clear transition between one topic and the next, and the homeworks weren't straightforward, especially without Greg's hints.
Cool knowledge about current research in astronomy as well as perspectives on how to approach problems.
I learned more about current research in different areas of astronomy such as cosmology and high energy astrophysics.
New research and understandings of astronomy and astrophysics.
Great class, super approachable methods of conveying information for someone with little prior knowledge. Lecturers are great, class format is great, workload is appropriate. Recommend.
In this course, I learned about the latest advancements and key concepts in astrophysics, including topics like dark matter, black holes, gravitational waves, and the evolution of the universe. I gained a deeper understanding of the cutting-edge research that is shaping the field of astrophysics, and developed my skills in analyzing astronomical data. The course also gave me a broader perspective on the role of astrophysics in addressing fundamental questions about the origins of the universe and the nature of space and time.
All of the latest research topics in Astrophysics, from planet formation, to binary black holes and machine learning
I learned about astronomy, physics, and the universe from both a micro and macro perspective.
