Mathematics are indispensable in astronomy. The site "The Astronomy in the teaching of Mathematics" (in french) summarizes the main applications of mathematics in astronomy.

Mathematical tools used in astronomy :

  • Functions of one real variable : generality and continuity
  • Functions of one real variable : differentiability
  • The Riemann integral
  • Expansions of a function of one real variable
  • Functions of two variables
  • Linear differential equations
  • Topology and metric space
  • Commonly used functions
  • Functions of several variables
  • Series
  • Complex variables
  • Geometry
  • Algebra
  • Statistics and probabilities
