Computational Physics

Learning goals

After following this course you will be able to:

• describe standard physical simulation algorithms.
• implement these algorithms in a well-structured computer code.
• apply these algorithms to calculate physical properties and interpret the outcome.
• verify correctness of the simulation outcome and use this analysis to improve the code.
• organize and perform joint programming work.
• present the results according to the requirements of scientific communication. -

Notes on the lecture notes

In these notes our aim is to provide learning materials which are:

• self-contained
• easy to modify and remix, so we provide the full source, including the code
• open for reuse: see the license below.

Whether you are a student taking this course, or an instructor reusing the materials, we welcome all contributions, so check out the course repository, especially do let us know if you see a typo!
