Computational Physics National Taiwan University
Course Overview
Computer simulations have become an integral part of contemporary basic and applied physics, and have been serving as a bridge between theoretical and experimental physics. This course introduces computational methods for solving problems in physical sciences whose complexity or difficulty places them beyond analytic solution or human endurance.
