Computational Physics. (3 h)

An introduction to finding numerical solutions to scientific problems. Topics include understanding computational errors, differentiation, integration, interpolation, root finding, random numbers, linear systems, Fourier methods, and the solution of ODEs and PDEs. There is no computer programming prerequisite. Credit will not be given for both PHY 335 and CSC 355 / MTH 355 . P- MTH 113 and 205 (or instead of MTH 205 , P- MTH 121 and 251 ), or prerequisite override required.
