PHYS 290 - Computational Modeling

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
There are many problems in the natural sciences that cannot be solved using pen and paper. This course will introduce the methods that a computational scientist uses to understand the world around us. Topics may include various techniques (e.g., solving ODEs, Monte Carlo simulations, and genetic algorithms) as well as applications (e.g., orbital dynamics, chemical kinetics, molecular dynamics, chaos, and other examples from the natural sciences).

Prerequisites: PHYS 111.
