Introduction to computational physics. Overview of some of the most widely used methods of computational physics and computational methods, including data analysis and statistical methods, visualization, numerical solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations (classical equations of motion, Poisson's equation, time independent and time dependent Schrodinger equations) and Monte Carlo simulations. In addition to giving the students a basic working knowledge of these particular techniques, the goal is to make them proficient in scientific computing and programming in general, so that they will be prepared to tackle other computational and data analysis problems that they may encounter in the future. This course will use the programming language Python.
