For new international students
The focus of this course is on the applications of numerical methods to physical problems across various sub-fields of physics. You will practice your ability to transform a physical problem into a suitable form for a numerical treatment and to analyze the calculated result. The course will further strengthen your ability to write efficient larger codes by using existing program libraries. The course is specifically targeted at students on the Master’s program in Computational Physics, but other students with adequate background can access it as well. This course is taught in English.
Teaching during the spring semester 2021
During the spring semester 2021 lectures in the course will be given remotely. The course is examined through written reports and remote oral presentations of weekly home assignments and a written report and oral presentation of a computational project. The final oral presentation is planned to be carried out on campus.
The course is using the Athena learning platform.
