Objetius

The syllabus reinforces the fundaments of physics and geometry of the astronomical phenomena that affect this discipline. It also looks at the mathematical aspects, which correspond to a subject in a higher course of C. Mathematics.
The theoretical topics are accompanied by classes for problem solving, in practice sessions (blackboard). These include questions and problems on the majority of the topic to be developed.
