課程概述

Computer simulations have become an integral part of contemporary basic and applied physics, and have been serving as a bridge between theoretical and experimental physics. This course introduces computational methods for solving problems in physical sciences whose complexity or difficulty places them beyond analytic solution or human endurance.  

課程目標
Fundamental programming techniques in C;
Basic Mathematical Operations;
Integration and Differentiation;
System of Linear Equations;
Matrix Operations;
Differential and Integral Equations;
Probability and Statistics;
Monte Carlo Methods;
Ising model;
Lattice QCD;
Partial Differential Equations. 
課程要求
Each student is required to attend the lectures, to work out the problem sets (70%), plus a term project (30%).
