ROSE 108

MATC

This course is designed to teach computational techniques that can be used to solve problems in the sciences, generally in physics and engineering. Students will spend most of their time programming specific physical problems as well as learning the theory behind the phenomena being modeled. No prior experience with computer programming is required. Students will be exposed to the Python programming language and its visual capabilities through VPython, as well as Structured Query Language (SQL) and MATLAB. Topics will include Newtonian Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics and Astronomy. As part of this course, students are required to complete an individual class project. Prerequisites: PHYS 141 and MATH 141, or equivalent experience. The Course will meet twice a week for 2 hours each session. The students will use their laptops or Physics program laptops, so no access to a computer lab will be necessary except for a few sessions in a lab with MATLAB available. Class size: 12
