PHYS 220: Computational Methods for Physics and Engineering
3.00 Credits
Francis Marion University
An introduction to the computational tools and numerical methods used in physics and engineering. Students will use spreadsheets (e.g., Excel) and numerical packages (e.g., MATLAB) to obtain numerical solutions to a wide variety of physical problems, including nuclear decay, motion with air resistance, rocket launches, heat transfer, rotational motion, and astrophysics. The numerical methods will include introductory finite difference, least-squares, matrix, and Monte Carlo methods.
