After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.
Numerical methods and computational physics with the topics
Lecture with integrated exercise
Preliminary discussion: 2.3. 2020 at 14:00 in FH Hörsaal 6
Depending on the group the lectures start on Tuesday or Wednesday at 14:00(EDV-Praktikumsraum Physik).In the following weeks there is a lecture on Monday starting at 14:00.On following Tuesday or Wednesday there are corresponding exercises.
A schedule can be found in the section Documents (Unterlagen)
The results of both tests and the exercises handed in contribute 1/3 each to the final mark. 50% of the total points have to be achieved for a positive mark. Additionally, in each test you have to achieve 40% of the test points. In the summer semster 2020 because of Covid one test replaces two.
Participation in lectures and exercises is mandatory (Lehrveranstaltung mit immanentem Prüfungscharakter). One exercise afternoon can be skipped after a notice has been sent to the lecturer. All the same, the problems of the exercise afternoon have to be handed in and will be part of your grade. In the aforementioned case of a missed exercise, it has to be handed in individually.
If you failed one test you may participate in an additional test (Nachtest) at the beginning of the WS. If one test is negative and the other could not be attended for important reasons such as a test in another lecture or illness (certificate required), the additional test replaces both tests. If you failed both regular tests you will receive a negative mark.
If you plan to improve your mark through the additional test, please inform us when you are given insight into the 2nd test.
If you only failed for the test part in a previous VU, you can take credit of your previous exercises and only participate in the test.
Bitte wahlweise für einen Termin (Di oder Mi) anmelden. In der VU können Zweier-Gruppen gebildet werden.
In der Vorbesprechung am 2.3.2020 (14:00 FH HS6) werden alle Details geklärt.Da diese LVA Pflicht für Master-Studierende ist, werden sie bei der Vergabe der Plätze vorgereiht.Wenn danach noch Plätze frei sind, können auch Studierende aus dem Baccelorstudium teilnehmen.
The student has to be enrolled for at least one of the studies listed below
Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing W.H. Press, S.A. Teukolsky, W.T. Vetterling, B.P. Flannery (Cambridge University Press, 2007)
NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Eds. F.W.J. Olver, D.W. Lozier, R.F. Boisvert, C.W. Clark (Cambridge University Press, 2010)
Computational Physics, S. E. Koonin, D. C. Meredith (Addison-Wesley Publishing Comp., 1990)
If you have deficits here please refresh your programming skills, i.e., program, before the first exercise.
As an extension of the introduction to Fortran we also offer the elective VU Wissenschaftliches Programmieren consiting of three additional afternoons with elementary programming in Fortran.
For the physical applications:
Statistical physics, quantum mechenics, mechanis, electrodynamics.
