Im not sure if youve answered an ask like this but im in a huge dilemma right now:( im 15, and have loved space ever since i was in 4th grade and have wanted to be an astronomer since then. Its just that math is kicking my ass and i know there is a lot of math tied to astronomy. I love space so much but im rethinking my career choices because of the fact i suck at math:((( i just need advice, do you think i should scrap this career path and do something else or continue working towards it?

You can, in some places, get a BA in astronomy so you don’t have to deal with so much math. However, a BA in astronomy isn’t worth a whole lot to employers unless you’re a museum / planetarium guide

Math is absolutely crucial if you want to get a BS in astronomy. At many universities, when you earn a BS in astro, you earn a BS in math too because a BS in astronomy/astrophysics is basically a math degree with more space stuff

So I'm staying at home for a year to catch up on math at the local community college, but the stupid website won't let me register for any math class, not even the developmental math. I'm so mad and the counselor online is no help and I won't be able to go in to an actual appointment with someone about it until Tuesday and I'm just so frustrated ugh.

Fight them

*At a party*
Host: So what’s your major?
Me: Astrophysics
Host: Oh! So that’s like… Space math, right?
Me: I mean if you wanna call it that, yeah
*Gets introduced as the girl majoring in space math for the rest of the party*

Lmao I’m dumb as hell and I’m a mathematics PhD student specializing in an extremely abstract field of pure mathematics.

I was put in the remedial math classes all throughout elementary to highschool. They wouldn’t let me move up when I obviously had the brains to do so. It was decided in the 5th grade that because I wasn’t good at math then, there’s no way I would ever be good at it.

We were in differential equations today when we all kinda decided that math is just fucking nonsense and that nothing was real just invent whatever math you want so I give you: Polyometry. The study of the geometry of objects existing in 4 or more dimensions in which everything always equals 1.

space mom, I was one of those kids that had a bad math teacher and was turned off by it until I was an adult. i love algebra !! and physics and calculus seem so beautiful but i feel so dumb sometimes when i cant do math that i feel i should just avoid it in college / as a career, like its too late to learn. do you know of any way to overcome those feelings or a way to just "get better" at it?

YouTube and Kahn Academy can really help! And MIT has open coursework to check out if you don’t like video learning

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?
