Computational Physics I
7.5 creditsWe will learn to write and use programs during the course to solve a variety of physics problems. The course is divided into four topics: i) Differential equations (systems) which allows us to describe e.g. motions in the solar system. ii) Partial differential equations, e.g., wave equations, electrostatics. iii) Monte Carlo methods. And iv), statistical methods for fitting experimental data. The course is based on smaller projects where the students are expected to independently define and solve problems within the four subject areas.
