PHY 3313 - Computer Modeling of Physical Systems

Credits: 4
An introduction to the computer modeling of physical systems using the program Mathematica. The course will focus on the numerical methods and graphing techniques that physicists use to model physical systems encountered in physics and engineering. General examples will be taken from Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. This course is intended primarily for physics majors who wish to learn how to apply computer modeling to physical systems encountered in nature.
