Computer physics

Students of Computer physics learn and acknowledge mathematical methods used in science and engineering (particularly in scientific computing and data handling); basic concepts of general, applied and modern physics and technology; algorithms, numerical methods, programming techniques and IT tools used for computer physics.

The course lasts 7 semesters.

The course is addressed to those candidates, who want to handle complex problems of science and technology using appropriate tools of scientific computing, undertake new approaches for non-typical or novel scientific and technological problems.

Subjects:

• introduction to physics
• programming languages
• mechanics
• linear algebra
• algorithms and data structures
• discrete mathematics
• electromagnetism and optics
• statistics
• introduction to quantum physics
• computer physics
• introduction to artificial intelligence
