Lecture Information I
•
Python is a well-designed, modern programming language
and widely used in computational science and
engineering.
•
It is a powerful tool since it includes a wide range of
features tailored for scientific computing.
•
This course is not either a numerical methods or a
programming python course.
•
However, this course is designed to use computer
programming to implement numerical algorithms for
solving physics/engineering problems.
•
Consequently, Python (fundamentals of programming in
Python, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib libraries) and some
numerical techniques (practice at phy sics/engineering
problems) will be learned implicitly.

Lecture Information II
•
You may be expected to do significant programming and
problem solving.
•
An understanding of the concepts of elementary calculus,
in particular solutions of differential equations and
Newtonian/wave mechanics are required but not
mandatory since they will be explained as needed.
•
Important announcements will be posted to the
Announcements section of this web page, so please check
this page frequently.
•
You are responsible for all such announcements, as well
as announcements made in lecture.

Course Over view I
•
IKC-MH.55 is intended to provide students a practical
introduction for using the computer as a tool to solve
physics and engineering problems.
•
The fundamental advantage of using computers in science
is the ability to treat systems that cannot be solved
analytically.
•
So that computing has become a major tool in
science/engineering and it is called the third pillar along
with experiments and theory.
•
Numerical techniques s uch as: Interpolation & Model
Fitting, Derivatives & Integrals, Basic Linear Algebra,
Eigenvalue Problems, Differential equations, ODE and
PDE solvers are used to solve problems from all areas of
science and engineering.
•
Python implementation of these algorithms will be covered
only whenever necessary in the context of the course.

Course Over view II
•
Each class will be focused towards solving a particular
physical/engineering problem.
•
Problems will be drawn from diverse areas of real-life
examples as much as possible.
•
Theor y or model, method of solution/algorithm, solution
implementation (analytic, Python) and visualization
/exploration will be outlined for the problem des cription.
•
Upon completion of this course the students will be able to
understand/explain/apply;
•
Learn how to work in a scientific computing environment.
•
Get familiarized with Python as a programming language for
numerical computation.
•
Learn how to solve physics/engineering problems using
numerical techniques.
•
Can solve de manding tasks with Python.
•
Learn to analyze problems, select appropriat e numerical
algorithms to solve the problem, imp lement them using
Python.
•
Possess the basic knowledg e of numerical modeling, data
analysis and visualizin g large amount of data.
