Computational Physics

Education facts

Code: FK8029

The course studies applications of mathematical and numerical methods to investigate physical problems from different areas of physics. A theoretical foundation and practical experiences are obtained to perform both quantitative as well as qualitative numerical studies. Additionally, starting with the physical problem the course trains the ability to reformulate and solve it with a spectrum of numerical methods

Entry requirements

Admission to the course requires knowledge equivalent to passed courses (excluding introductory courses) of 45 credits in mathematics and 60 credits in physics, where the course Quantum Mechanics, 7.5 credits (FK5020) and at least two of the courses Atomic and Molecular Physics, 7.5 credits (FK5023), Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology, 7.5 credits (FK5024) or Statistical Mechanics and Condensed Matter, 7.5 credits (FK5025) should be included. Additionally, requires knowledge equivalent to upper secondary school English B/English 6. Finally, knowledge equivalent to Mathematical Methods in Physics, 7.5 credits (FK7048), Programming and Computer Science for Physicists, 7.5 credits (DA7011) as well as Numerical Methods for Physicists II, 7.5 credits (BE7001) is required.
