Purpose of the Course:
This course shows the power of the computational approach to solving physics and related problems, which is complementary to the traditional experimental and theoretical approaches. Students are expected to spend a significant fraction of time in actual programming. This is an elective course for the computational physics theme. This is also an essential course for those who plan to pursue postgraduate studies in fields like computational physics, condensed matter physics, chemistry, and engineering or work in related areas
