Course description

NumPhysParis is a general course in Computational Physics, with applications in statistical physics, atomic and condensed-matter.
We will cover the many numerical algothims used in modern many-body problems: Monte Carlo (classical and quantum), molecular dynamics, stochastic computation, exact diagonalization, optmization in complex landscapes. Implications to computer science problems 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.

Language

The working language for this course is English.
Programming Language: Python 3.
You need first of all to have Python installed with at least modules NumPy, SciPy and matplotlib.
