    What are the differences between studying astronomy and nanotechnology?

    I think I might consider that. Actually physics is pretty much the same course as astrophysics in that university, just some subjects change depending on specialisation. In case I pick physics, I won't have subjects about stars, radiation and observational astronomy. Instead it's classes like...

    What are the differences between studying astronomy and nanotechnology?

    Yeah, I find it quite funny that I have to choose between studying the vast and distant, and something that is so small and close. :)

    What are the differences between studying astronomy and nanotechnology?

    Hello! I'm going to apply for a bachelor in a year. I haven't decided what I want to major in, but my top choices are astronomy (astrophysics) and nanotechnology (the course is called "Nanotechology, energy and materials"). I myself am more interested in the universe, space etc. I was almost...

    Recommend a book for a beginner (astrophysics)

    Thanks for the reply! :) Will definitely watch those videos. Where should I start at khanacademy? Just as it goes on the page, arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra etc? And I actually started watching those astronomy courses at academicearth.org! It might actually be two years before I begin...

    Recommend a book for a beginner (astrophysics)

    Thanks! I might get it, though some equations there look complicated. I read some pages here - http://press.princeton.edu/TOCs/c8457.html I think I might need something more basic! Oh and maybe more maths than physics because my knowledge of math is pretty much on high school level. But...

    Recommend a book for a beginner (astrophysics)

    Hello! I'm going to study astrophysics next year, we will study the most of basic stuff on the way (calculus etc as well). I have some basic knowledge of physics and astronomy, but totally forgot basic mathematics since I didn't pay enough attention in school (which I regret now). So what...
