Computational physics

Computational Physics can be frustrating sometimes... Just realized that my past eleven weeks of work has been entirely invalidated due to single error in my simulation inputs. Arrrg. On the upside, I think I've got the process down now, so its just a matter of rerunning everything...

Are there many interesting computational physics problems out there? Are there any comet trajectories that will deviate from a standard ellipse? For some reason plotting the path of a baseball just doesn't spark my interest.

Hey, In doing a circuit simulation i want to allocate a matrix like this (c++) double S1store[3][steps+1] i get no compiling errors, but if i make steps greater then 28000 the program gives me a windows error and crashes, it runs fine on a unix system. is there a limit to the amount of...

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!
