This minor aims to produce graduates with excellent computing skills, a thorough grounding in astronomy, and experience in using computers to solve complex, challenging scientific problems. Modern astronomy is strongly driven by large datasets, which require advanced computing procedures to analyse. Students will learn about the science of stars, planets and galaxies; the use of computers in science; and how to formulate and solve challenging problems in modern science using high-level computer skills.
