Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course deals with basic methods of scientific computing, leaning towards applications in theoretical physics.

Scientific Computing is an interdisciplinary field of study, situated bewteen numerical analysis, computer science and natural science. Nowadays, numerical simulations are used to conduct expensive or practically impossible experiments in
complex mathematical models of a given physical system. The insights obtained by the simulations may, in turn, suggest new directions for theory.

In the course of the lecture, the following topics will be discussed using simple numerical algorithms. In the excercises
these algorithms will be applied to examples, implemented and visualized:
Visualization
Interpolation
Numerical Differentiation
Numerical Integration
Solution of Nonlinear Equations
Fitting
Ordinary Differential Equations
Partial Differential Equations
Linear Systems of Equations
Eigenvalueproblems
Monte-Carlo Simulation
