Physics 360 MicroCourses With Python - Astrophysics: Master the Universe: A Complete Course in Modern Astrophysics with Python Code, Practice Problems

Unlock the cosmos-one line of Python at a time.

From the motions of exoplanets to the ripples of spacetime, this definitive textbook takes you on a hands-on journey through 33 stand-alone chapters packed with:

• Cutting-Edge Theory - Newtonian and relativistic gravity, stellar evolution, dark matter, cosmic microwave background, galactic dynamics, gravitational waves, and more.
• End-to-End Python Workflows - Fully annotated code for orbital mechanics, N-body simulations, radiative transfer, exoplanet transit fitting, machine-learning classification of galaxies, and statistical cosmology.
• Problem-Solving Mastery - Hundreds of rigorously crafted practice problems (with detailed solutions) sharpen conceptual understanding and quantitative skills.
• Engineered for Self-Study & Classroom Use - Modular chapter design, step-by-step derivations, and code-first pedagogy bridge theory, computation, and application.

- Celestial coordinate transformations and orbital transfers

- Stellar structure, fusion pathways, and supernova progenitors

- Black-hole metrics, accretion physics, and jet launching mechanics

- Exoplanet detection (radial velocity, transit, microlensing)

- Magnetohydrodynamics, cosmic rays, and high-energy astrophysical jets

- Cosmological expansion, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, dark energy parameters

- Gravitational lensing theory and weak-shear mass reconstruction

Whether you're a university student, research professional, or passionate autodidact, you'll find everything needed to command the language of the universe-mathematics, physics, and Python.
