Principles of Modeling and Simulation in Science. 3 credits

Catalog description

Applies numerical methods to study of variety of physical systems, with emphasis on modeling and simulation. Develops numerical algorithms and simulation codes to gain understanding of mechanisms, processes in physical systems. Includes several projects drawn from such areas as atomic and molecular interactions, molecular dynamics, lattice dynamics, quantum systems, chaos, percolation, random walks, aggregation mechanisms of soft solids, nanomaterials, and nonlinear dynamics.
