- 3. WHY COMPOTATIONAL PHYSICS? 1: Definition 2: Purpose of Course 3: Scientific Programming Methodology And Languages 4: Applications
- 4. DEFINATION Computational Physicsis the study and implementation of numerical algorithm and the techniques which make calculations easy using computers. The science of using computers to assist in the solution of physical problems, and to further physics research.
- 5. PURPOSE OF COURSE The purpose of this course is demonstrate to students how computers can enable us to both broaden and deepen our understanding of physics by vastly increasing the range of mathematical calculations which we can conveniently perform.
- 6. Scientific Programming Methodology Basically,there are two possible methods by which we could perform the numerical calculations which we are going to encounter during this course First, we could use a mathematical software package, such as MATHEMATICA, MAPLE or MATLAB. The main advantage of these packages is that they facilitate the very rapid coding up of numerical problems. We could write our own programs in a high-level languages as FORTRAN 77, C, C++,(oop) object oriented program
- 7. APPLICATIONS Due to thebroad class of problems computational physics deals, it is an essential component of modern research in different areas of physics, namely Accelerator Physics Astrophysics Plasma Physics
- 8. ACCELERATOR PHYSICS Acceleratorphysics is a branch of applied physics, concerned with designing, building and operating particle accelerators. As such, it can be described as the study of motion, observation of charged particle beam.

- 10. ASTROPHYSICS Astrophysics isthe branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry "to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space. Among the objects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, planets. Some areas of study for astrophysicists include their attempts to determine: the properties of dark matter, dark energy, black holes; whether or time travel, wormholes can form, or the multiverse exists.

- 12. PLASMA PHYSICS Plasma(from Ancient Greek), meaning "moldable substance" or "jelly")is one of the four fundamental states of matter, while the others are solid, liquid, and gas. Unlike these three states of matter, plasma does not naturally exist on the Earth under normal surface conditions, and can only be artificially generated from neutral gases. It can simply be considered as a gaseous mixture of negatively charged electrons and highly charged positive ions, being created by heating a gas or by subjecting gas to a strong electromagnetic field.
