| Main themes |
Initiation to numerical simulation in physics through two types of problems:
1. Differential equation resolution to partial derivatives by tbhe method of finished differences or with the help of spectral methods ;
2. The numerical simulations of the Monte Carlo type.
|
| Aims |
To offer to students the possibility to acquire a first experience in numerical simulation in the problems belonging to the physical sciences field. Since they must acquire experience, emphasis is put on computer exercises, that allow the confrontation to multiples problems brought up by the installation of a numerical simulation software and the necessity to completely resolve the problem - meaning without limiting oneself to throwing the bases of resolutions. The study of different methods of numerical simulation is mainly through several examples coming from diverse domains of physics.
