Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics
The course covers simulation methods in statistical physics applied to, amongst others classical fluids and spin systems. The course provides a theoretical basis as well as practical experience with application of molecular-dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations.

For new international students
You will get hands on experience with simulation methods and a theoretical understanding in statistical physics. You will employ and expand your programing skills in developing code for molecular dynamics simulations and Monte Carlo simulations of a noble gas fluid.
Teaching during the spring semester 2021
Teaching and computer exercises will be done remotely. The course is examined by written hand in exercise, written reports of computer exercises and a remote monitored written exam.
The course is using the Athena learning platform.

Course structure
This is a second cycle course given at full speed during daytime. This course can also be taken as a third cycle course.
Teaching format
The teaching consists of seminars and compulsary computer-based exercises.
Assessment
The course is examined through written tests during the course and a final written exam, as well as through written reports on the computer-based exercises.
