Information on the course<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

The course aims at providing\u00a0<\/span>the student with many of the “tools” frequently used in the solution of\u00a0<\/span>physical problems. The course is meant to be an applied course, in\u00a0<\/span>which the actual programming is a key feature. For this reason, each\u00a0<\/span>lecture will have one or more exercises involving the solution of a\u00a0<\/span>specific physical problem via the use of numerical codes implementing the\u00a0<\/span>techniques discussed in the lecture. The codes can be written in any of\u00a0<\/span>the following languages: fortran (77, 90, 95), C, C++, python. H<\/span>owever no specific computational knowledge is necessary. Each exercise\u00a0<\/span>must be completed (ideally) before the subsequent lecture in the course\u00a0<\/span>starts. Topics covered include:<\/span><\/p>\n
