Teaching Computational Physics to Undergraduates

We discuss the advantages of incorporating computational physics into the undergraduate curriculum and the special advantages of a separate course that emphasizes computer simulations.

MPPhys - A many-particle simulation package for computational physics education

In a first course to classical mechanics elementary physical processes like elastic two-body collisions, the mass-spring model, or the gravitational two-body problem are discussed in detail. The continuation to many-body systems, however, is defered to graduate courses although the underlying equations of motion are essentially the same and although there is a strong motivation for highschool s...

Statistical and Computational Physics

(1) Exact universal amplitude ratios for two-dimensional Ising model and a quantum spin chain. (2) Critical behaviour of semi-infinite quenched dilute Ising-like systems in three dimensions: Ordinary transition. (3) Universal scaling functions for bond percolation on planar random and square lattices with multiple percolating clusters. (4) Polydispersity effect and universality of finite-size s...
