AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion highlights the interest in advancing knowledge in plasma physics and fusion following a BSc in nuclear and radiation engineering. The participant seeks guidance on further courses and simulation codes related to these fields. Suggestions include utilizing textbooks from previous courses for deeper exploration and considering additional courses in plasma physics and radiation interactions with matter. Engaging with these resources is emphasized as a way to build a solid foundation in the subject.

I just finished my Bsc. in nuclear and radiation engineering, and in my senior year i took a plasma physics and fusion course and was introduced to Fusion, MHD etc. , but the course did not dive deep into them.

I am really interested in this field, wether Plasma physics only or Fusion. I want to dive deeper into this field and learn more courses about it, and know all the codes that are used for simulation etc..

If someone can give me a brief guide or knows a good course or guide it would be really helpful🙏

Why not use references from your textbook to dig deeper? By the time you graduate you should be able to do this on your own.

What textbook did one use in the course?

One should consider taking courses in plasma physics and radiation interaction with matter: plasmas, gases and solids.
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
