    Extractions: http://www.jamil.com/personalities/ Born Ghiyath al-Din Abul Fatah Umar Ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam in 1044 in Nishapur, a Persian city, Omar Khayyam was a well-known mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and poet. He spent most of his life in Persian intellectual centres such as Samarkand and Bukhara, and enjoyed the favour of the Seljuk sultans who ruled the region. Khayyam's best-known scientific contributions were in algebra and astronomy. His classification of algebraic equations was fundamental to the advancement of algebra as a science, for example, just as his work on the theory of parallel lines was important in geometry. In astronomy, Khayyam's greatest legacy is a remarkably accurate solar calendar, which he developed when the Seljuk sultan, Malik-Shah Jalal al-Din, required a new schedule for revenue collection. Khayyam's calendar, called Al-Tarikh-al-Jalali after the sultan, was even more accurate than the Gregorian calendar presently used in most of the world: the Jalali calendar had an error of one day in 3770 years, while the Gregorian had an error of one day in 3330 years. Khayyam measured the length of one year as 365.24219858156 days, which is remarkably accurate. It has since been discovered that the number changes in the 6th decimal place over a person's lifetime. For comparison of Khayyam's accuracy, the length of one year at the end of the 19th century was 365.242196 days, and today it is 365.242190. Although the calendar project was cancelled upon Malik-Shah's death in 1092, the Jalali calendar has survived and is still used in parts of Iran and Afghanistan today.

    Extractions: The Islamic World to 1600 The medieval Islamic world also made significant advancements in the field of astronomy. Part of the reason for the Muslim interest in astronomy is unique to the Islamic faith, and grew from the Muslim attempt to solve practical problems. Because the Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar, for example, the ability to see, and even predict, the arrival of the new moon was fundamental to marking the beginning and ending of each month. This issue was particularly significant for the month of Ramadan, when fasting is required during the day, and for determining the date of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Secondly, the study of astronomy grew out of a need to map the coordinates of the stars, in order to determine the direction of Mecca from any city, because Muslims are required to face that direction when praying. These practical concerns for Muslims led to great advancements in astronomy. Observatories were first established in the Islamic world, in major cities such as Baghdad, Hamadan, Toledo, Maragha, Samarkand, and Istanbul, and new instruments were developed. The Muslim invention of the astrolabe, for example, was one of the most important in astronomy until the invention of the telescope in the 17th century. Muslims were also the first astronomers to challenge the long-accepted theories of Ptolemy and Aristotle regarding eclipses, planetary orbits, and the position of the stars. In the early 11th century, the Muslim physicist, Ibn al-Haytham, measured the height of the earth's atmosphere to be the equivalent of about 52 kilometres; today we know it is about 50 kilometres. In the early 14th century, Ibn al-Shatir designed models for the movement of the moon and the planet Mercury, which are very similar to those later done by Copernicus in the 16th century.

    http://www.uwec.edu/Admissions/facts/physics.htm
    
    Extractions: Physics, the science of matter and energy, is the study of the deepest mysteries of our universe, ranging from subatomic particles to cosmology. Exploring ideas of space, time, matter, energy and radiation, it serves as the basis for the physical sciences. At UW-Eau Claire, we also combine the study of physics with astronomy to apply the ideas of physics to the study of planets, stars, galaxies and all celestial phenomena within reach of our telescopes. These two areas share a vast array of common ideas and knowledge, and discoveries in physics often aid progress in astronomy and vice versa. WHY STUDY PHYSICS? Modern society is influenced by physics in countless ways, including recent development in such fields as laser optics, miniaturized electronics, nuclear energy and medical instrumentation. It's a fascinating field in which you try to solve mysteries of the universe such as: What are the fundamental forces in the universe? What holds atoms together? How does an airplane fly?

    Extractions: Catalog Home www.astro.ufl.edu The Major: Students comfortable with mathematics and physics who have a strong interest in understanding the nature of the solar system, stars, galaxies and the universe are encouraged to consider majoring in astronomy. The knowledge acquired and the analytical skills developed provide excellent broad-based training for careers in industry, education and government as well as preparation for graduate study in astronomy and astrophysics, science education, engineering, law and medicine. In addition to the general requirements of CLAS, students majoring in astronomy must take AST 3018, 3019, 3722C, MAC 2311, 2312, 2313, MAP 2302; PHY 2048, 2048L, 2049, 2049L, 3101, 3221, 3323, 4222, 4324. One additional physics course must be selected from PHY 3513, PHY 4422, PHY 4523, and PHY 4604. Majors must also select five additional 3 credit courses from among the 4000 level astronomy courses. All required courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. Students planning graduate work in Astronomy should talk with the Undergraduate Coordinator and plan to take PHY 4604 and additional courses from the following: PHY 3513, 4422, 4523; MAS 3114, MAA 4402, MAP 4303, STA 3032, and CGS 2425.

    Extractions: B.A. The program develops the skills necessary to tackle complex and ill defined problems within the physical sciences. The astronomy program prepares students for careers in several broad areas. The B.A. is aimed primarily at students interested in secondary education in the physical sciences, science policy, and science and technical writing. The B.A. can also prepare students to continue their studies in astronomy in graduate school as well. Students take Math 1271-1272 or Math 1371-1372 or Math 1571-1572 (8-10 cr); Math 2243 and 2263 or Math 2373 and 2374 or Math 2573 and 2574 (8 cr); and Phys 1301-1302-2503 or Degree Requirements The astronomy degree has several different tracks depending on the area of specialization the student wishes to pursue. Each of these tracks has the same core math, physics, and astrophysics requirements. In addition to these core courses, each track requires additional credits specific to the area of specialization. These tracks are: secondary education, science writing, science policy, and scientist. The senior thesis (Ast 4994) should be related to the area of specialization, and need not be astrophysics research.
