PHYS 351 - Computational Methods

Institution:

Coastal Carolina University

Subject:

Physics

Description:

(3 credits)(Prereq: PHYS*212 or PHYS*214, and CSCI*135) This course introduces students to the computational tools that physicists use to analyze and to codify the foundational principles of physics. By the end of the semester a student completing this course is able to perform order-of-magnitude calculations; design and write computer programs that simulate physical systems described by multiple variables; and analyze a set of noisy data. The communication and synthesis of scientific knowledge is highlighted throughout the course via formal written reports that descrive the theoretical analysis of a physical system. F
