Students will learn concepts in astrophysics, and across other related sciences and mathematics, as they work to understand some of the most fascinating topics in astronomy: the Big Bang and Black holes. Students will learn principles in such fields as: relativity, space-time, quantum physics, black hole physics, detection and measurement of black holes, active galactic nuclei, and quasars. Students will cement their learning though working on individual projects related to the topics in the class that interest them the most.
