Course detail
Computer Physics II
FSI-T2FAcad. year: 2010/2011
Independent physical problems solving using the computer. Problems are selected to amplify the knowledge of the numerical methods application for engineering calculations. In addition to Excel and MathCad, students use also MatLab, Maple or other programming environment according the content of individual projects.
