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

• Fortran (elementary knwoledge of this -in physics- widespread language)
• Integration/fitting/roots of functions
• Linear Algebra
• Differential equations
• Monte Carlo Simulations

Lecture with integrated exercise

Preliminary discussion: 1.3. 2021 at 14:00 online.
In the following weeks there is a lecture on Monday starting at 14:00.

 Exrecises start on Tuesday at 14:00 online, additional questions can be posed on Wednesday-

A schedule can be found in the section Documents (Unterlagen).

 Einen Terminplan findet man unter Unterlagen.

You can hand in your programming examples in teams of two.

The results of the test ist weighted by 60% that of the exercises by 40% for the final mark. Additionally,  you have to achieve 40% of the test points

If you failed one test you may participate in an additional test (Nachtest) at the beginning of the WS.

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.

 If because of Covisd it is not possible to have a presence test, most likely there will be a special programming example as a substitute with time available for this in June.

In der Vorbesprechung am 1.3.2021 (14:00 Online) 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.

Prorgramming skills e.g. from Datenverarbeitung für TPH I

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.
