Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The subjects of the course will be methods for numerical modelling of physical systems, focusing primarily on astrophysical and geophysical systems. This includes basic numerical root finding methods for solving equations, numerical solutions to differential equations (e.g. Runge-Kutta methods), hydrodynamics, and basics machine learning/neural networks. We will also cover basic Python programming and modern methods for developing scientific computing packages, including basic code design and version control.

The basic lecture plan is as follows:-
1. Introduction
2. Python and Visualisation
3. ODE1
4. ODE2
5. DSMC
6. Parallelisation with Python
7. MCMC
8. Hydro 1
9. Hydro 2
10. Hydro codes
11. Code design and development
12. Machine learning intro
13. Machine learning with TensorFlow

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be a series of assignments.
