okay?

Answer 2

Simply put, yes. You need to know a lot of mathematics to be a cosmologist. And be good at it too. Just to let you know, cosmology is the study of the beginning of the universe while astronomy is the study of the end of the universe. Remember that mathematics is the "language" of science and is extremely essential in the pursuit of any physics based degree. A prominent cosmologist and quantum physicist at the City University of New York named Michio Kaku once said he believed that everybody is born a scientist in someway, but many people can not pursue a degree in this field because they are "hit by a wall of mathematics", which, ultimately, impedes their complete understanding of the field. So if you want to be a cosmologist, get ready to open up that math book and study hard! -Scott A.

Answer 3

Cosmologist.

I cannot think of any other profession that requires so much math and physics. Cosmologists are kind of like CSI people for the universe. They figure out what it's saying when it can no longer talk.

To be a good cosmologist you need to have a very good understanding of mathematics and a good understanding of the conceptual world...or at least a collegue who can tell you what your theorums mean in ordinary speak.

This is kind of how it works. Take dropping a ball from different heights, for example. Newton drops a ball from different heights and measures the time it take to hit the ground. He plots this on paper and figures out an equation that will tell him how fast the ball will be going at any particular time, or point he chooses. Now, similar things have been done with much of the physical world, giving us a handful of mathematical and physical laws to work with.

It's through the mathematical manipulation of these laws that we can come to conclusions about things which we cannot test, or have yet to test, through experiment.

So yes, lots of math, lots of physics.

Answer 4

Yes. In fact, you don't need nearly as much of an astronomy background as you need math and physics - many cosmologists are physicists. If this is something you'd like to do, I'd recommend majoring in physics in college - you'll get all the math you need as a physics major.

Answer 5

I think you need to study spelling first. Maybe you should start with the word "cosmologist". If that's what you mean, the answer to your question is "yes".

Answer 6

If you mean cosmologist, you better believe it. You will be using partial differential equations to track heat flow from the core of a star to its surface, as well as lots of other mathematics for other things.

Answer 7

No!

What you really *need* are curiosity and sensitivity to the beauty inside the structure of the Universe. These two things cannot be taught.

Physics and Math can be taught very easily and in very little time by a gifted teacher.

Answer 8

I presume you mean cosmology that includes astronomy, light, energy, speed of travel, size of stars, planets. So math/physics very important and fun. When you can see math and physics in action, it becomes worthwhile.We are so lucky to have all kinds of calculators to make it easier, and it feels good to be in control of the technolgy, understanding what you are doing and why. Find that fun instead of fear.

Answer 9

What's a Coslogist? Some type of doctor? LOL!!

Answer 10

What's that ? I think you have to be good in English to be called a **gist.

Answer 11

What's a coslogist? I am not sure you spell this correctly.
