Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Includes index.3-030-11703-0 Introduction -- Chapter 1: Knowing the Stars -- Chapter 2: Star Formation -- Chapter 3: From The Outside In -- Chapter 4: From The Inside Out -- Chapter 5: The Ravages of Time -- Chapter 6: Selected Case Studies -- Appendix A : The 4th Order Runge-Kutta (RK4) Integration Scheme -- Index.This textbook introduces the reader to the basic concepts and equations that describe stellar structure. Various approximation techniques are used to solve equations, and an intuitive rather than rigorous approach is employed to interpret the properties of the stars. The book provides step-by-step instructions, helpful exercises and relevant historical lessons to familiarize students with key concepts and mathematical theories. Based upon a series of one-semester (12 weeks) elective undergraduate courses offered at the University of Regina, this book is intended for students who are interested in seeing how basic calculus and introductory physics can be applied to the understanding of the stars from their formation to their death. The text provides an intermediate stepping stone between lower-level undergraduate classes and more specialized postgraduate texts on the subject of stellar structure.Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791AstrophysicsSpace sciencesPhysicsAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Astrophysics.Space sciences.Physics.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Mathematical Methods in Physics.523.01Beech Martinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792222MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337872103321Introducing the Stars2509765UNINA
