If you wanted to study it in depth you would need much math.
But astrophysics is a broad field and much can be learned
At least at a beginners level
With only a little calculus.
This is my opinion of course.
As StephenG said
Knowing basic physics would be more helpful.
The study of integral equations of the type (2) is one of the principal mathematical problems of radiation theory.
The mathematical problems of astrophysics include
The search for exact analytic solutions of such equations .
Astrophysics is all math
Basic maths skills like basic calculus would be "enough" to help
But basic physics is an absolute essential
You don't need the mathematics as much as you do the concepts - an intuitive sense of how things work and the core "rules", like the laws of thermodynamics
The examples here considered refer to so-called inverse problems
Inverse problems in astrophysics involve considerable difficulties and uncertainties both of mathematical nature and in obtaining the necessary results of observations
The mathematical aspects, in particular, have to do with possible ill-posedness of the problems
Yes, absolutely. At bare minimum, you'll need to study some geometry to understand how distances are calculated and how the shapes of orbits are re...Best answer · 4
It would help quite a bit but not absolutely necessary. Don't get me wrong, astrophysics, like most types of physics, is highly mathematical. If yo...3
Yes, mathematics is essential for all branches of physics and critical for astrophysics. It is required that you improve your mathematical skills t...1
I agree with the answers here suggesting that geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus are all highly helpful. However, if I were you, I woul...1
