PHY 4611 - Computational Physics I

Credits: 2 (0 + 4)

Prerequisite(s): PHY 2811, PHY 2711, MTH 3420, completion of General Studies requirements and Senior standing or Permission of instructor

Description: This course introduces more advanced methods of computational physics. Several complex physical phenomena are modeled numerically. Topics include nonlinear second-order differential equations associated with Newton’s second law, partial differential equations associated with the wave equation, heat diffusion, Schrödinger’s equation, and methods of fitting and analyzing data.

University Requirement(s): Senior Experience
