PHYS 100 KS -Computational Phys/Engineering

Institution: Pitzer/Scripps

Description: 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, Mathematics, or Matlab. No prior computer course is assumed. Prerequisites: PHYS033L, PHYS034L, or both semesters of the AISS course (AISS001AL, AISS001BL, AISS002AL, AISS002BL) or PHYS030L, PHYS031L; and MATH030, MATH031.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
