CSC 240 - Computational Physics (= PHY240)
Instructor
M. Kuchera
(Cross-listed as PHY 240) PHY/CSC 240 is an introduction to computer programming and computational physics using Python. No prior programming experience is necessary. This course will provide students with the skills required to write code to solve physics problems in areas inclyuding quantum physics, electromagnetism, and mechanics. Structured programming methods will be covered as well as algorithms for numerical integration, solving differential equations, and more.
Satisfies the Mathematical and Quantitative Thought requirement.
Satisfies a requirement in the Data Science interdisciplinary minor.
Satisfies the computational requirement for the Physics major/minor.
Satisfies a core requirement in the Computer Science minor.
Satisfies the Mathematical and Quantitative Thought requirement.
Prerequisites & Notes
Co-requisite: Physics 120, 125, or 130 at Davidson or permission of the instructor.
Students with credit for CSC 121, MAT 150, and MAT 235 should take MAT 315 instead of PHY 240.
