<p>Astronomy or astrophysics is what you’re looking for…but both are unfortunately VERY math heavy, as others have said. In general, the more conceptual and theoretical it is, the more math it is going to need. Contrary to common belief, astronomers and astrophysicists spend basically NO time sitting around looking through telescopes and such. It’s more like countless hours spent pouring over data and doing endless calculations.</p>
<p>Astronomy or astrophysics is essentially a physics major, and with a physics major comes a LOT of math. At that bare minimum, you’d need a full calculus sequence, plus differential equations and linear algebra. Ideally though, you should have more math beyond that too. All of the physics and astronomy courses you’d need would also have a very heavy foundation in math.</p>
<p>You may find that you enjoy college math more. High school math is basically taught as rote memorization. They don’t really spend much time on the how and the why…which keeps a lot of people from actually seeing how fascinating and enjoyable math can be.</p>
