First arrived, first served. In case of any issue, please take contact with us by e-mail. Good luck!
THEQUIZ: the results are not bad, but we think you were right: it was not easy!<br>
Due to the difficulties encountered in the enunciation of 2-3 questions that remained ambiguous,
we decided to add to everybody 3 extra points. On Friday Guillaume will give you your result.
Use it to improve your understanding: we are close to the end of the trip, 60 points are still up for grabs. <br>
We wish you to pick most of them: good luck!<br>

3 homeworks (30 points) + 1 MCQ (20 point), oral exam (50 points)
NumPhys is a general course in Computational Physics, with applications in Statistical Physics and Condensed Matter.
We cover the many algorithms used in modern many-body problems: molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo (classical and quantum), exact diagonalization and optmization in complex landscapes. Implications to computer science are also discussed. We focus on algorithms and physics, not on programming and heavy numerics. The theoretical lecture is followed by a tutorial introducing many concrete numerical exercises. You will have to hand in 3 homeworks.
