Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Demonstrate a familiarity with various techniques for scientific computing and analysis

2. Devise and implement numerical codes to perform the relevant analysis

Aims

Numerical solutions to mathematical and physics problems is a cornerstone of both physics and applied mathematics research. This module is a continuation of the practical-based module developed in the first semester. The numerical techniques are more advanced and will require more detailed understanding of the numerical methods.
