ATM 150 - Introduction to Computer Methods in Physical Sciences

Institution:

University of California-Davis

Subject:

Description:

Lecture-3 hour; lecture/discussion-2 hours. Prerequisite:Mathematics 22B, Physics 9B, and a computer programming course such as Engineering Computer Science 30. Additional courses in fluid dynamics (course 121A or Engineering 103) and in Fourier transforms (Mathematics 118C or Physics 104A) are helpful, but not required. Computational techniques used in physical sciences. Integral and differential equation numerical solution: mainly finite differencing and spectral (Fourier transform) methods. Time series applications (time-permitting). Specific applications drawn from meteorology. Accelerated introduction to FORTRAN including programming assignments. Enrollment limited to 12, preference to Atmospheric Science majors. Offered in alternate years. (P/NP grading only.)-I. Grotjahn
