PHY 332 - Computational Physics II

Semester Hours: 2

As not every problem of interest can be solved analytically, Computational Physics 2 will stress a numerical approach to analyzing physical processes. The topics discussed in this course include translating analytical expressions into expressions that can be calculated by a computer, representing the data from numerical calculations in meaningful ways, finding numerical solutions to physically relevant ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs), and simulating random processes.

Prerequisite: PHY 331 .
When Offered: Offered Spring Semester, alternate years.
