This regular course extends over the entire academic year and consits of a weekly 3 hours of lectures and 2 hours of workshop. It is designed for students from the third year up.The textbook "Computational Physics - An Intorduction" by Franz Vesely (Plenum 1994 and Kluwer 2001) is based on this course.The first three chapters are devoted to a thorough, if concise, treatment of the main ingredients from numerical mathematics: finite differences, linear algebra, and stochastics. This exercise will prove valuable when we proceed, in chapters 4 and 5, to combine these elementary tools into powerful instruments for the integration of differential equations.
The final chapter - to be treated in the following summer term - are devoted to a number of applications in selected fields: statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and hydrodynamics..
The course material is deposited at my website,www.exp.univie.ac.atIn an ongoing project I am gradually augmenting the web material by sample programs. These are written in JAVA and are accompanied by short explanations.In addition, various ad hox questions are answered in the WEBLOG on my homepage.
Tale of contents: 1. Finite Difference Calculus/2. Linear Algebra/3. Stochastics/4. Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)/5. Partial Differential Equations(PDE)
