Computational physics Definition and 157 Threads

Hi everyone! I'm currently searching for good graduate computational physics programs, so if anyone can name a few, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Perhaps this isn't in the right section, although I couldn't think of a better one. If I wanted to start working on computer simulations, what language and packages should I pursue? I know the blog highlighted Python, but after a point, it has its limits. I was thinking C++ or Java, as I already...

What are some of the more practical applications, if there are any, of computational physics?

http://pacific.uta.edu/~qiming/Project2.htm Mind you this is solving NUMERICALLY(hence Euler's algorithm)not analytically *THIS FOLLOWING PART IS JUST ME EXPLAINING WHAT I DID, it's hard to put into words, if you can follow it and spotted a mistake, let me know* quick assist to get you...

I am senior in college and I will be graduating in May 2005. I am about to complete my undergrad in Engineering Physics but I decided that I wanted to go more into the I.T. field for grad school since I have decided that I don't think I want to do physics. I researched a field call...

Hi all, I am not sure if I'm posting on the right place. I am currently working on a computational project. It's about simulating a system with two non-test masses and a bunch of test masses. The instruction sheet says that we should "scale the problem carefully by setting the units such that...

Hi, I am new to this forum I've noted no computational physics forum? whys that? cheers!
