Course description
Through a series of integrated projects, students will learn the principles of computational physics and will develop skills in the design of computational solutions to problems in classical, quantum, and experimental physics. The course covers methods of solving coupled systems of ODEs, PDEs using linear algebra and basis transformations, and the basics of machine learning/model fitting to experimental or simulated data.
