Prerequisite: one year of undergraduate physical chemistry, three semesters of calculus, one year of college physics.

N. Ananth.

Introduction to computational methods employed in the physical sciences. This class is aimed at seniors and beginning graduate students and will cover basic simulation techniques used in statistical mechanics, ab-initio quantum chemistry and quantum dynamics. Lab work will be an integral component of this course, covering both scientific coding and some applications using commercially available scientific software.
