Hello world!
Welcome to PHY432. We start on 1/13/2026. Bring your laptop to class.
Please check the Canvas (ASU PHY432 Spring 2026) site for additional details.
Computational Methods in Physics is an undergraduate class run in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University. The instructor is Arunima Singh.
The course provides an introduction to using the computer as a tool to solve problems in physics. Students will learn to analyze problems, select appropriate numerical algorithms, implement them using Python, a programming language widely used in scientific computing, and critically evaluate their numerical results. Problems will be drawn from diverse areas of physics.
