PHYS 234 Fall Term
Next fall, Bill Titus will be offering Physics 234, Computer Simulation in Complex Physical Systems. This course only requires one 5-week, introductory physics course (131, 132, 141, or 142), and the subject material is applicable to all the sciences, mathematics, and computer science. In particular, the course will focus on the development of techniques to study complex physical systems from a computational/probabilistic standpoint using Mathematica. Some potential topics include random walks, percolation clusters, avalanches, traffic flow, the spread of forest fires and diseases, and the inverse problem in geophysical gravity studies. The latter topic will involve a brief introduction to Bayesian statistics. No Mathematica skills are assumed. The course will be taught on the Tuesdays/Thursday schedule and the class sessions will be a mixture of discussion, lecture, and computer laboratory work. If you have any questions about the course, feel free to contact Bill.
