PHYS 3500K: Computational Physics I

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: Grades of “C” or higher in PHYS 2212 and PHYS 2212L
This course utilizes introductory computer programming to analyze situations that are unique to physics. Students will enhance their computational thinking by using these methods and learn to obtain high accuracy approximate solutions to physics problems that are not solvable by analytic means. No prior programming knowledge will be assumed and the basics of one or more of the standard programming languages C/C++, Fortran, Python will be included in the course instruction.
