PHYS 100 KS - Computational Physics and Engineering

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the application of computational techniques to physics and engineering. It provides direct experience in using computers to model physical systems and it develops a minimum set of algorithms needed to create physics and engineering simulations on a computer. Such algorithms are employed to solve nontrivial, real world problems through the investigation of seven major projects. Students will use computer mathematical software such as Maple, Mathematica, or MatLab. No prior computer course is assumed. Enrollment limited to 12.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 033L , PHYS 034L , or both semesters of the AISS course (AISS 001AL , AISS 001BL , AISS 002AL , AISS 002BL ); and MATH 030 , MATH 031 .
Instructor: J. Higdon
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every spring


Please refer to the course schedule on the Scripps Portal for current course offerings and details.
