Rechnergestützte Physik 1

What it is about

You learn basic numerical methods for solving ordinary and simple partial differential equations as well as related techniques of numerical mathematics (integration, differentiation, equation solvers, linear algebra, data fitting). In the end you will be able to implement these methods in various programming languages, classify differential equations and formulate and numerically solve suitable differential equations for physical problems.

What you will be able to do

Understand basic numerical methods
Implement numerical procedures in different programming languages
Classify and numerically solve ordinary differential equations
Classify and numerically solve simple partial differential equations
Formulate suitable differential equations for given physical problems

What the module consists of

VorlesungConveying the theory, demonstrations in Mathematica and provision of the lecture notes as PDFs
ÜbungDiscussion and completion of problem sheets, reproduction and deepening of lecture content in groups

Teaching method

Theoretische Erläuterung auf elektronischer TafelFor structured presentation of concepts and derivations
Praktische Demonstration in MathematicaTo illustrate implementations and behavior of numerical methods
Einbindung von Studierendenvorschlägen und Live-ImplementierungTo test solution approaches, discuss sources of error (e.g., numerical instability) and find alternatives
Gruppenübungen zu ÜbungsblätternFor deeper understanding through discussion and collective solving of concrete problems
Optional: Einführung in Programmierung und Besichtigung des LRZAdditional offering for students without prior knowledge or for practical orientation
