Computational Methods in Physics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The principal goal of this course is to develop competence and experience in the use of computers as tools for scientific studies. The course is intended primarily for physics majors, with no assumption of prior programming experience. The main purpose of the course is for students to learn programming in a modern computer language, and how to apply computer techniques to numerical problems, scientific data analysis, model calculations and simulations. This course will provide the foundation for computing modules in upper-level physics courses.
