Description:
The course's primary goal is to prepare students to solve with the usage of computer physics problems. The course should prepare students to use selected programming languages on the semi-advanced level, and apply numerical methods and techniques in the scientific work. The course will consist of introductory lectures and laboratory classes. The lecturer will introduce programming techniques and numerical methods. During laboratory classes, student will solve physics problems related to the scope of the master thesis.
Prerequisites:
Basic level programming skills.
