The course provides an introduction to using the computer as a tool to solve problems in physics. Students will learn to analyze problems, select appropriate numerical algorithms, implement them using Python, a programming language widely used in scientific computing, and critically evaluate their numerical results. Problems will be drawn from diverse areas of physics.
PHY202 is an intense online class that provides an *introduction to programming in the Python programming language. The examples are drawn from physics but the overall goal is to enable students to write programs to solve their own numerical problems, no matter where the problems come from.
This summer’s mini-workshop series is designed to provide introductions to various topics of interest to lab members. Weekly topics are chosen based on interest levels of lab members.
