Applications of Computer Simulation in the Natural Sciences II
Einsatz der Computersimulation in den Naturwissenschaften II
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:14:51
Abstract
On the basis of simple examples we demonstrate how to solve problems in the natural sciences using a computer. In an introductory lecture course the theoretical foundations and solving methods are explained. In the practical part, various projects on PCs will be performed under guidance.
Content
Einführung in das Betriebssystem UNIX (Linux) und die Programmiersprache Java, Datenvisualisierung, Monte-Carlo Methoden, Brownsche Bewegung, Minimierung von Funktionen am Beispiel des Traveling Salesman Problems, Phasenumwandlungen, Berechnungen zur molekularen Dynamik, Neuronale Netzwerke (Mustererkennung), Eulersche und Navier-Stokes Hydrodynamik auf Gittern.
