ASTR513

This course introduce basic computational methods for solving problems numerically in astrophysics and the foundations of modern statistical methods that are used in current research problems, with emphasis on big-data science. The topics will include basic scientific algorithms to solve integrals and simple differential equations frequently encountered in astrophysics, frequentist and Bayesian inference methods, non-linear regressions methods, modeling of data, Monte Carlo techniques, error estimation, and model selection.
