Physics 20, 21, 22 are a series of courses on the application of computational techniques to simulate or solve simple physical systems, with the intent of aiding both physics understanding and programming ability.

• Ground Rules

• Ph20 : Introduction to computing and its applications to problems in classical mechanics. Numerical integration, root-finding, minimization, and numerical simulation of differential equations of motion.
• Ph21 : Advanced numerical techniques and applications to problems of classical mechanics. Parallel programming techniques and their applications.
• Ph22 : Advanced numerical techniques. Partial differential equations, spectral methods, Monte-Carlo integration.

• Casey Handmer : Tuesday 1-4pm (email: chandmer at caltech dot edu)
• Hao Chu : Thursday 2-5pm (email: hchu at caltech dot edu)

• The Physics Computation Lab is a computer lab in room #304 of the East Bridge building on the Caltech campus.
• The lab is managed by Chris Mach and TAed by Casey Handmer and Hao Chu

• Return to physics classes at Caltech.
