TAILIEUCHUNG - COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS

In 1999, when we started teaching this course at the Department of Physics in Oslo, Computational Physics and Computational Science in general were still perceived by the majority of physicists and scientists as topics dealing with just mere tools and number crunching, and not as subjects of their own. The computational background of most students enlisting for the course on computational physics could span from dedicated hackers and computer freaks to people who basically had never used a PC.

Hjorth-Jensen Department of Physics University of Oslo 2003 iii Preface In 1999 when we started teaching this course at the Department of Physics in Oslo Computational Physics and Computational Science in general were still perceived by the majority of physicists and scientists as topics dealing with just mere tools and number crunching and not as subjects of their own. The computational background of most students enlisting for the course on computational physics could span from dedicated hackers and computer freaks to people who basically had never used a PC. The majority of graduate students had a very rudimentary knowledge of computational techniques and methods. Four years later most students have had a fairly uniform introduction to computers basic programming skills and use of numerical exercises in undergraduate courses. Practically every undergraduate student in physics has now made a Matlab or Maple simulation of . the pendulum with or without chaotic motion. These exercises underscore the importance of simulations as a means to gain novel insights into physical systems especially for those cases where no analytical solutions can be found or an experiment is to complicated or expensive to carry out. Thus computer simulations are nowadays an integral part of contemporary basic and applied research in the physical sciences. Computation is becoming as important as theory and experiment. We could even strengthen this statement by saying that computational physics theoretical physics and experimental are all equally important in our daily research and studies of physical systems. Physics is nowadays the unity of theory experiment and computation. The ability to compute is now part of the essential repertoire of research scientists. Several new fields have emerged and strengthened their positions in the last years such as computational materials science bioinformatics computational mathematics and mechanics computational chemistry .
