Learning outcomes

Our ideal about knowledge on computational science

Does that match the experiences you have made this semester?



Topics we have covered this year

Linear algebra and eigenvalue problems, chapters 6.1-6.5 and 7.1-7.5

Monte Carlo methods in physics (Chapters 11, 12 and 13)

Ordinary differential equations (Chapter 8)

Partial differential equations, chapter 10, not covered this year

Final presentation

Select the project you liked the most among projects 2-4. Alternatively, if there are other topics of relevance you would like to present, feel free to suggest (send me an email however). Your presentation (bring your own laptop) should include In total your talk should have a duration of 20-25 minutes, but longer is also ok. The style for the final presentation follows very much the layout your reports.

What? Me worry?
