PHYS 1321 - COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN PHYSICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Students will master computational techniques and good programming practice and apply these skills to enhance their understand of problems in physics and astronomy. The first 3 weeks of the course will introduce essential programming strategies and debugging techniques with the rest of the course devoted to applications. Topics include interpolation and approximation techniques, ordinary differential equations (e.g., projectile motion with drag and spin), oscillators (linear and nonlinear), orbits, data analysis/curve fitting, partial differential equations (e.g., fluid mechanics), and Fourier transforms.
