Physics 305: Computational Physics

Physics 305 at the University of Hawaii is a three credit, introductory course which covers computer basics, numerical methods, and the solution of physics problems using computers. The prerequisites for this course are two semesters of introductory physics and three semesters of calculus (the third semester may be taken concurrently). Physics 305 has two hours of lecture and a 3 hour lab each week. Exercises are assigned during the lab. The course is classified as a Writing Intensive course with the writing intensive part of the grade based on a one or two page summary of the weekly exercise. Students must develop a semester-long project, and at the end of the semester, they must present a class report on the project.
