So lately I’ve been thinking of switching my major so I could study astrophysics after taking becoming super interested from a basic astronomy class. I’m worried about the math though, because my skills are only average and I have some occasional reading issues. Do you think this would be a major problem in the field?
Astrophysics is about 90% math. In some places a physics degree pretty much comes with a math degree, I know in my specific program there’s only a one class difference between the math classes you need for a math degree and for a physics degree, and the class was programming anyway
Some unis offer Bachelors of Arts in astronomy as well as the bachelors of science. I’m assuming the BoA is less math intensive and more qualitative?
