Please send an email to sparre@uni-potsdam.de if you would like to attend the course. We will send around more information about the course the week before the semester start.
Astrophysical systems, such as galaxies, planetary disks or compact objects, are so complex, that the favoured method to develop theories and interpret observations is using computer-based calculations. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Python and C programming languages, which are frequently used in astronomy and physics. The students will learn to write codes, create plots and implement algorithms in these programming languages. Through tutorials and lectures we will develop programs to do N-body simulations and advanced data analysis. The students will also learn to master astrophysical Python-packages such as Astropy, Matplotlib and Numpy. This course will prepare students for a specialisation in astronomy or in any other topic, where programming is commonly used.
