School of Mathematics & Physics
The optical astronomy group searches for exoplanets and studies stellar populations and stellar astrophysics in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. The group operates a 1.3-metre telescope at the Greenhill Observatory approximately 65 km from Hobart.
The discipline of Mathematics offers a range of courses and research supervision in statistics, and pure and applied mathematics. Mathematics provides the language that underpins technology and describes all aspects of the natural world. Mathematics provides fundamental skills in problem solving, modelling and analysis.
Physics is the fundamental science, the foundation upon which engineering and technology are built. This science is concerned with the farthest reaches of space and the tiny world of atoms and molecules. Physics provides a basis for an understanding of biology, chemistry and geology.
The Honourable Peter Underwood AC, Governor of Tasmania, will officially open the new optical telescope site at Bisdee Tier on February 23, 2013.
