PHYS 100 JS - Computational Physics and Engineering

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 MatLab computer mathematical software. No prior computer course is assumed.

Prerequisites: PHYS 033L JS and PHYS 034L JS or both semesters of AISS; MATH 030 CM, MATH 031 CM
