Abstract:
|
Computational physics has become a third way of doing (and learning) physics, complementing theoretical and experimental physics. I will discuss the advantages of teaching computational physics in the context of a laboratory-based course on computer simulation, and present some of the topics from the forthcoming edition of a computer simulation text which is being written in collaboration with Jan Tobochnik and Wolfgang Christian.
