Ce cours donne un aperçu des phénomènes physiques qui se cachent derrière les objets astronomiques qui nous entourent, des planètes et des étoiles jusqu'aux filaments cosmiques, en passant par les galaxies comme notre Voie Lactée et les amas de galaxies. Le cours met l'accent sur le lien entre les prédictions théoriques et les observations et constitue la base indispensable des cours d'astrophysique avancés.

What you'll learn:

  • Vision globale de l'univers depuis les échelles planétaires au échelles cosmologiques (Global perception of the universe from planetary to cosmological scales)
  • Les échelles de temps et d'espace qui caractérisent les objets celestes (Typical temporal and spatial scales in celestial bodies)
  • Les processus physiques expliquant notre perception des astres (Physical processes at play in astronomical objects)

Cement Chemistry and Sustainable Cementitious Materials (edX)

Learn the basics of cement chemistry and laboratory best practices for assessment of its key properties. Every day, we see concrete used all around us – to build our houses, offices, schools, bridges, and infrastructure. But few people actually understand what gives concrete its strength, resistance, and utility. The aim of this course is to offer basic cement chemistry to practitioners, as well as new students in the fields of chemistry and engineering.

Cosmic Rays, Dark Matter, and the Mysteries of the Universe (edX)

Join us on a unique exploration of one of the universe’s deepest mysteries: cosmic rays. In the Universe, high-energy cosmic rays are violently propagating in space. While we know these cosmic rays come from outside of the solar system, exactly how and where they originate is a mystery. Professor Shoji Torii from Waseda University and many researchers from around the world, believe that understanding about their origin will help resolve the mysteries of the Universe, such as, supernova remnants, dark matter, and even the Universe’s evolution.
