Courses

​

The department of mathematical and computational physics offers the following courses:

​

• Mathematical analysis

• Linear algebra

• Analytical geometry

• Vector and tensor analysis

• Differential equations

• Integral equations

• Calculus of variations

• Theory of complex variable functions

• Probability and mathematical statistics

• Linear and non linear equations

• Numerical methods and mathematical modeling

• Computational physics

• Informatics and programming

​

Anyone who wishes to get a formal understanding of physics cannot do it without mathematics. It's practically impossible to study physics in the absence of mathematics. Students are therefore required to take these courses very seriously if they want to have a good understanding of physics.

 

 It's somewhat mysterious how the laws of nature seem to comply to the logics of mathematics. Physicists through the years have used this as a tool to their advantage. Many people will say physics is a very difficult subject, in most cases it's not the physics that they find challenging, but the math. Studying physics becomes much easier when one is fluent in math.

Apart from that, physicists, mathematicians and programmers have developed through the years computational methods that make it easier, faster and more accurate to solve problems in physics. They use algorithms, various numerical methods and modeling in order to efficiently solve the physics problems.

​

The department of mathematics and computational methods therefore offers the set of skills required in order to fully grasp and understand physical concepts and solve problems. If the learner has no intentions of staying in physics in future, these skills are still very applicable in many other fields. Statistics actually show that many physics graduates do not end up working in physics, but in other fields such as programming, mathematics, data analysists in places like banks and so forth. 

 

We wish you all the best in your studies!
