Astrophysics Tutoring FAQ
Astrophysicists tend to study the nature and properties of astronomical objects such as planets, galaxies, stars, black holes, and pulsars, making the subject both broad and central to our understanding of the universe. The field of astrophysics examines these bodies' emissions throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The subject itself can be broken down into categories based on parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio astronomy, ultraviolet astronomy, and infrared astronomy. Astrophysicists are involved in cutting-edge research designed to investigate phenomena like dark matter, the cosmic microwave background, galaxy formation, and extrasolar planetary systems.
The roots of astrophysics began around the 17th century. Natural philosophers such as Galileo, Isaac Newton, and René Descartes concluded that earthly and celestial regions were comprised of similar materials and therefore were subject to the same natural laws. Their theory was difficult to prove at the time because the materials to prove their theory hadn't been invented yet. The research of the connection between astronomy and physics emerged about a century later. Joseph von Fraunhofer and William Hyde Wollaston discovered that many dark lines could be viewed in the solar spectrum when light decomposed from the sun. In 1860, physicist Gustav Kirchhoff found out the dark lines are the result of absorption by chemical elements in the solar atmosphere. This proved that the chemical elements in the stars and sun were also present on Earth.
There are many skills that an astrophysics student must possess in order to be successful. Students must be skilled at both science and mathematics, and they need to be able to observe, research, and apply astronomical knowledge in a laboratory environment. Observation includes ground-based and space-based platforms, and students must be comfortable with using a diverse array of telescopes that span the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Observational technology is also rapidly advancing, so students need to be adroit at adopting new equipment and techniques. In addition to research and observation skills, theoretical astrophysicists must possess a thorough understanding of mathematics. Calculus and linear algebra are essential to creating and interpreting theoretical models of the universe, and a mere cursory understanding of either area is insufficient for those who wish to pursue careers in astrophysics.
If you are a graduate or undergraduate student who is struggling with your astrophysics coursework, Varsity Tutors can help. Perhaps you are a physical sciences student with an interest in astronomy, but have difficulties with calculus. Alternatively, maybe you are an exceptional mathematics student who is looking to apply your skills to the astronomical sciences, but are not comfortable in a lab environment.

Recent Astrophysics Tutoring Session Notes
Today we continued studying for the assessment test, focusing especially on the grammar and punctuation part of it. She is really rusty on her comma rules and semicolon usage, so we spent a lot of time really making sure those rules were drilled into her head.
We finished her packet over ecology. We went over the predator vs prey relationship. When we finished with that we started on her assessment test review packet for math, got one page done, and started on the next. She is doing very well with both subjects!
Today we covered evolution in chapter 17. We discussed topics he was having trouble with, such as types of selection, and reviewed graphs together. He seemed to have a good understanding of material towards the end of the session.
The student needed help to cover various ecology topics, including adaptive radiation, coevolution, convergent evolution, theories on speciation, genetic drift, mutation, and the definition of evolution as a change in allele frequencies.
The student and I reviewed in advance of a quiz that she has tomorrow. We went through the digestive system and what happens after you eat a meal. We also reviewed the skeletal and muscular systems that we did last week.
Reviewed osmoregulation and the renal system. Discussed hormonal regulation (Aldosterone and ADH) and drew/discussed a diagram of the nephron which I believe was helpful to consolidate all of the information.
