High-Energy Astrophysics (Princeton Series in Astrophysics)

Fulvio Melia

Astrophysics
This book will be best used as a supplement to Astronomy textbooks, not to teach astronomy but to enhance the education by helping cover the mathematical algorithms using programming languages available for free to all students. Algorithms presented are as stand-alone as possible, but often they depend on other algorithms presented throughout the book. These dependencies are clearly listed and explained. Any updates or corrections will be found on the web site, along with downloads such as sample code and complete working programs that use the algorithms in a more graphically rich way.

Astrophysics is Easy!



Astrophysics is a subject that is often - with some justification - regarded as extremely difficult, requiring at least degree-level mathematics as a prerequisite to its understanding. Consequently, many amateur astronomers just don't bother, and miss out on the fascinating fundamentals of the subject, and often on an understanding of exactly what they are observing.

Mike Inglis' quantitative approach to astrophysics cuts through all the incomprehensible mathematics, and explains all aspects of astrophysics in simple terms.

A unique feature of this book is the way that example objects for practical observation are given at every stage, so that practical astronomers can go and look at the objected or objects under discussion, using only commercial amateur equipment.
