Physics through Computational Thinking

Physics through Computational Thinking. Instructors: Prof. Auditya Sharma and Prof. Ambar Jain, Department of Physics, IISER Bhopal. This course gives a hands-on introduction to computational thinking applied to basic undergraduate Physics. A strong emphasis is placed on translating physics problems into a form suitable for analysis on a computer, with visual aids and computer programming tools. The focus here is primarily to develop the cognitive skill of computational thinking in Physics rather than elaborate numerical methods or exhaustive study of Physics. (from nptel.ac.in)
