<p>So, I got into ASTR 1210 with Murphy during my orientation, which I’m <em>super</em> excited about. But… my math abilities are kind of shaky. Does anyone have an idea of how much math is involved in the course? I’m basically just wondering if I can do well and enjoy it all without stressing out too much about the math side. I can self-teach pretty easily if need be, but I’d rather not. Advice is appreciated. (And oh, I won’t really have internet access from this Thursday to the next one, so sorry in advance if I don’t see a response til a week or two from now.)</p>
<p>It’s basic calculator math. f=ma. Maybe some ellipses…</p>
<p>Great, thanks. Guess I shouldn’t have any issues then.</p>
<p>I had two roommates take it, one was a Music major and the other was BA-psych and both hated math but did just fine. I think as hard as it got was Algebra/trig, but not Calc level</p>
<p>Awesome, that’s really reassuring! I’m alright with stuff below calc so this should work out well. </p>
<p>My son took that class last year and really enjoyed it. (and he doesn’t like math AT ALL). </p>
