| Aims |
|
The study of methods for modelling stellar structure and stellar evolution and comparision of theorethical data with observational evidence: the equation of stellar interior, evoltionary traks, the equation of relativistic stellar equilibrium, simple stellar models, observational properties of stars. The introduction of the fundamental problems of stellar atmosphere modelling and stellar stability computation.
