Keterangan: Message from the IOAA President






IOAA has been performed annually since 2007 as the astronomy and
astrophysics competition for high school students. The host countries were
Thailand, Indonesia, Iran, China, Poland, Brazil, Greece, Romania and for
the second time Indonesia will host the IXth in 2015. The organizer of each
host country has mobilized its country's best astronomy and astrophysics
educators to make problems for theoretical, observational and data analysis
test. The problem has also been reviewed, corrected and finally accepted by
the IOAA International Board. The process assured high quality exam problems
are delivered to the participants of IOAA.
In several years the IOAA competition system has accumulated many high
quality astronomy and astrophysics problems which are certainly valuable
educational tool in astronomy and astrophysics for high school students.
Such valuable treasure will be more instructive and easier to understand and
to be used when it is improved by adding basic theories, instructions and
more explanantion. It will contribute more to the world science education
when it is distributed effectively all over the world. One of the ways is by
publishing the materials in the form of book, either printed or electronic.
Prof. Mihail Sandu has provided his contribution for the world high school
education by arranging the IOAA problem, solution and instructions in the
form of book. Thanks to his great effort to make the potential resource
become practically usable. Students, teachers, instructors can use this book
in a preparatory training before participation in an astronomical
competition like IOAA or other national, regional and international events.
It is also a good book to be used as enrichment material for ordinary
physics class.
Astronomers all over the world who are interested to translate and
distribute the book in their countries are welcome. It will be very valuable
for enriching science education in our country. The interested translators
can contact the editor and the IOAA president.
Finally, I wish to thank again Prof Mihail Sandu for editing the material,
adding solutions and comments and transformed it into published IOAA book.
Thank also to the International Board of IOAA and academic team of each host
country for creating the problems, you have contributed greatly to science
education in the world. I thank also the publisher, PT Trisula Adisakti who
help printing and distributing the IOAA book.
