PHY 409 - Computational Physics (4)

Computational methods, which include numerical integration, the solution of differential and transcendental equations, and statistical analysis, are applied to problems in mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and non-linear dynamics. Familiarity with programming techniques such as loops, arrays, and functions is expected, at the level of CS 128 or ECE 114.

Prerequisite(s): PHY 133 and one of MAT 208, MAT 216, or MAT 224.
Component(s): 4 lectures/problem-solving.
When Offered: F, odd years
