PHYS 3560 - Mathematical Methods and Computational Physics II

3 Credit Hours

Pre/Corequisites: Prerequisites: MATH 2215 and PHYS 2212K with a C or higher.
Description
An introduction to methods for solving mathematical problems in physics which require the combination of applied mathematics with the practical use of numerical algorithms and computers. Starts with tools for data analysis such as statistical analysis of noisy data and modeling using stochastic processes and progresses to Monte Carlo, Ising models, stochastic optimization, and molecular dynamics simulation. Familiarity with python, MatLab, R, IDL, or Julia is helpful but not required.
