This course “Computational Physics” aims to introduce numerical methods of computational physics of relevance to the research performed in the IMPRS. The course splits in two parts: The first half discusses numerical solutions of linear systems, of ordinary differential equations, and of partial differential equations. The second half of the course lays the foundations for numerical relativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be 16 lectures of 50 minutes each between May 12 and July 4, 2025.<\/strong> The course will be given by three lecturers from AEI Potsdam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lectures will take place from 11am to noon Mondays, and from 9am to 10am on Wednesdays and Fridays<\/strong> of each week. There are some exceptions as noted below<\/strong>, to avoid conflicts with other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All lectures can be attended in person in room 0.01<\/strong> at the AEI Potsdam, or via Zoom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When available, the lecture notes<\/strong> and lecture recordings<\/strong> can be found under “Course Materials” on the pages of the individual lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be three problem sets<\/a> and four discussion sessions with the lecturers. All students should do at least half of the problems, and are strongly encouraged to participate in the discussion sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This course “Computational Physics” aims to introduce numerical methods of computational physics of relevance to the research performed in the IMPRS.
