PHYC 336 Computational Physics
Introduction to computational methods in physics, with an emphasis on application and on developing tools for implementing realistic computer simulations and interpretation of the data. These topics will include numerical integration, function fitting and minimization, realistic simulation of projectile motion and many-body systems, stochastic mechanics, wave motion, and molecular dynamics.
Prerequisite: PHYC 122 and MATH 166, some prior programming experience at level of CS 120 is preferred.
