Using the plain-language approach that has proven highly popular in Fleisch's other Student's Guides, this book is ideal for non-science majors taking introductory astronomy courses. The authors address topics that students find most troublesome, on subjects ranging from stars and light to gravity and black holes. Dozens of fully worked examples and over 150 exercises and homework problems help readers get to grips with the concepts in each chapter. An accompanying website features a host of supporting materials, including interactive solutions for every exercise and problem in the text and a series of video podcasts in which the authors explain the important concepts of every section of the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 15.24 x 1.19 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 1107610214 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1107610217 | | Item Weight | 340 g | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | Student's Guides | | Print Length | 208 pages | | Publication Date | 29 Aug. 2013 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![A Student's Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61t8t4jS10L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant maths astronomy book *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 October 2019* This is a great book that covers a surprising amount of astronomy using mathematics that, apart from the use of radians, does not go beyond GCSE level. I was pleasantly surprised that the author showed how to do meaningful calculations about topics like black holes and recession of galaxies without getting into calculus.The explanations of principles are good and clear. For me the explanations of calculations were more detailed than necessary but that’s fine: I skipped over many of them but others will find them helpful.Hints and full solutions are on the accompanying web-site. Those for the end-of-chapter exercises are conveniently grouped in .pdfs. Those for the in-chapter problems are separate and split into parts a, b, c etcetera, which for me, often on a phone in a café with dodgy wifi, seemed to take a long time and a lot of clicks to access. Still, the most important thing is that there are solutions to all the problems, with working not just answers, and none of this “answers to even numbers only” nonsense that some authors inflict on us self-study students.The book, and the solutions, have been carefully proof-read. I found only one mistake in the online solutions, a tiny one, and when I pointed it out to the author he corrected it immediately.Most users of this book will be juggling the book, pencil, paper, calculator and a phone or tablet for looking up astronomical data and checking their answers. Is it too much to ask that the publisher make this easier by providing a spiral binding?I got a lot of pleasure from reading this book and working the problems. It’s inspired me to follow up with a more advanced astronomy book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to learn the Mathematics of Astronomy! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 October 2025* This book is amazing!The information is laid out in a way that even newbies like me can relate to. In my mid-forties, I signed up for a Cosmology certificate as a personal challenge, eager to understand how mathematics unlocks the cosmic story. Buying this on Kindle was the perfect move, I’ve been able to highlight, search, and revisit key concepts as I learn. The book starts with the basics and steadily builds toward advanced topics, making the journey feel achievable. Now, when I watch or listen to cosmologists, I’m finally grasping the numbers and ideas they discuss. More importantly, I feel equipped to launch my own cosmological studies with confidence.Kudos to the authors, this is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to learn the Mathematics of Astronomy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect; just what I needed *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 February 2020* I am taking an online course in introductory astrophysics, and (exactly like this book mentions in the preface!) I was understanding the general principles but struggling with the maths behind them; which is not surprising since I don't have a university education and high school is some years away. This book tackles all the maths you need for this kind of course in astronomy or astrophysics (or even for your own personal interest in understanding matters like gravity for example), and so far I've been able to keep up with the explanations which is great. There are exercises to solve at the end of each chapter; with the solutions on the book's website; which is a great addition, with also video podcasts. I find the book really motivating and I am happy with my purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Student's Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy (Student's Guides) - Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide, Eighth Edition - Celestial Calculations: A Gentle Introduction to Computational Astronomy (Mit Press) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/51978690-a-students-guide-to-the-mathematics-of-astronomy](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/51978690-a-students-guide-to-the-mathematics-of-astronomy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
