Objectives of the Course
|
This is a must course for the undergraduate students. The use of computers for computation and simulation is an integral part of the physics discipline. Moreover, computational physics has become as important as theoretical and experimental physics in recent decades. Students will obtain basic skills in programming in the context of solving physics problems. It is assumed that the student has no computer programming experience. In short, the objective of this course is to introduce students to how computers are used in physics.
