Physics and Astronomy; Pre-Engineering 402 /402L - Computational Mechanics

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

P. Crotty This course investigates general algorithms and their implementation for the exploration of problems in classical and quantum mechanics. Applications range widely from solar system dynamics and chaotic systems to particles in general quantum potentials. Fourier analysis, including the fast Fourier transform, and its application to the understanding of physical systems and data analysis, are also studied. In addition to graded homework assignments and exams, each student undertakes a major numerical project of his or her choice. The required credit-bearing laboratory PHYS 402L must be taken concurrently with PHYS 402. Offered in the fall only, in alternate years.
