Introduction to Astronomy (GSS001) 

Two things fill the mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe, the more often and the more intensely the mind of thought is drawn to them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. By Immanuel Kant 有二事焉,恒然于心；敬之畏之,日省日甚：外乎者如璀璨星穹,内在者犹道德律令. 钱坤强译

Intended Learning Outcomes: 

This course is to provide basic knowledge in astronomy and to introduce scientific thinking method. At the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Describe the scope of astronomy and astrophysics.

2. Explain how the scientific reasoning and quantification methods are applied in astronomy.

3. Tell the difference between science and fantasy in science fiction.

4. Present an argument and support it with evidence, proof, and/or examples.

Linear Algebra (BAE1923)

If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in. By Richard P. Feynman

Intended Learning Outcomes

(Please check ILOs mentioned in the beginning of each class)

You will learn basic concepts in linear algebra, including linear equation, matrix, vector space, and their operations. Through concrete examples, you will learn to apply linear algebra is in data analysis and optimization.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1.  Understand basic concepts and use the linear algebra language fluently.

2.  Remember by heart the steps to solve linear equation, conduct linear transformation and principal component analysis, etc.

3.  Convert expressions, properties, and operations under the linear equation, matrix, and vector space frameworks.

4.  Apply linear algebra in Least-Square problems, Markov chain, etc.
