Complementary courses for computational physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking guidance for transitioning into a research career in computer simulations after completing a Master's in Theoretical Physics/Astrophysics. The individual expresses a need for additional technical training, as their academic program provided limited exposure to the necessary skills. Suggestions include exploring online courses and complementary topics that enhance technical knowledge relevant to computational physics. A specific resource mentioned is the ComPADRE website, which offers a collection of computational physics examples implemented in Java using the OSP toolkit, serving as a potential starting point for practical learning.

Hello,

I've recently finished my M.S. in Theoretical Physics/Astrophysics, and am interested in finding a career in research via computer simulations, however, my school touched very little on technical aspects of such research. So my question is : does anyone have any suggestions for complementary topics to study or courses (perhaps online) that would be beneficial from a technical point of view?

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
