Does astronomy study maths and science?

Answer 1

The importance of statistics in astronomy is seen in the various methods of research. Through statistics, astronomers are able to predict certain events are also interpret the astronomical data they gather.

Answer 2

Mathematics has an important role in astronomy find out the riddles of astronomy using mathematical laws. For example, by using bode's law scientists discovered the presence of asteroids in betwix mars and Jupiter.

Answer 3

Well... take this for example. The sun is 400 times farther away from us than the moon. It is also 400 times bigger in the moon. We use arithmetic to conclude that the sun and moon appear the same size in the sky.

Answer 4

Maths are used in many aspects of Astronomy. All calculations for the distance and size of celestial objects requires mathematics. To make any telescope you must measure a large number of things and all that takes mathematics.

Answer 5

Astronomy involves distances and forces and sizes and relationships. Mathematics models and quantifies the relationships. For example Gravitational Energy

E = -mGM/r + mcV = [-mGM/r , mcV]

Mathematics says the energy has two parts a scalar part -GmM/r consisting of the product of two masses m and M and the gravitational constant G divided by the separation distance r. The sign of the scalar part is negative indicating attractive energy. The other part of the gravitational energy is a vector part consisting of the product of the smaller mass m, the speed of light constant c and the vector velocity of the smaller mass V. All of the description was included in the one line of mathematics.

The next question is what is the force involved? Here again mathematics comes to the rescue, in calculus. Calculus tells you how the variable changes with the environment, space in this case. The change of energy with space gives Force.

Force F = XE = [d/dr, Del] [-mGM/r, cmV]

F = XE= m[GM/r2 - cDel.V, cdV/dr - Del GM/r + cDelxV]

F = m[ v2/r - cv/r cos(V), -cv/r 1V + v2/r 1R + cv/r sin(v) 1RxV]

F = mcv/r [v/c - cos(V), -1V + v/c 1R + sin(v) 1RxV]

Note mcv/r = cp/r = p/t = mv/t = ma !

F = ma [v/c - cos(V), -1V + v/c 1R + sin(v) 1RxV]

Mathematics is the language that describes Astronomy, calculates astronomical relationships and describes the shapes and curves of astronomical orbits and objects. Mathematics is also a microscope and telescope into nature including Astronomy. Note that the Momentum Energy cP is claimed by me to be the mysterious "Dark Energy", it is just the widely available momentum energy.

It is likely the largest energy in the Universe as any mass that moves adds to it, and it could be said that every mass in the universe is moving.

Note also v/c is the redshift of astronomy, Hubble's "hitherto unrecognized principle of nature".

Setting the first Derivative of Energy to zero gives the Boundary Condition.

In this case the Boundary Condition gives v=c. this is the condition where the Energy does not change, is Stationary , is Invariant, is Continuous,etc,etc,.

The second Derivative X2E gives the Curvature of the Energy, the Wave Equations. The zero point of the Curvature is the Inflection Condition where Curvature is zero or Flat.

There is more to say about mathematics in Astronomy.

Answer 6

It depends on what you're doing in astronomy. It could be as simple as basic arithmetic, but for some problems you'll need statistics, and for others you'll need to use the calculus.

Answer 7

No. Astronomy is a subject - an inanimate thing. It is not a living thing that can study.

An astronomer, on the other hand is animate. And if s/he wants to be any good s/he will definitely study maths, physics and chemistry. Geology may become more useful as more earthlike planets are discovered outside the solar system.

Not sure how crucial Biology would be.

Answer 8

very important all diferant term in astronomy marths physics

Answer 9

Math is used in astronomy, so we could easily calculate how many light years is the next solar system away from? So, that's why we use math in astronomy.

Answer 10

Maths is used in astronomy for calculating such things as parallax and relative distance. Also for such things as how far the star is away from us.
