Preparation and Help

This course is not about hard-core programming, nor about solving large scale computing problems. Mostly we will be writing little scripts for toy numerical experiments to gain understanding of some quantum mechanical problems. (The Julia language is easy to learn even for beginners in programming. Helps will be provided during tutorial sessions. Also, you are free to choose any language you like as long as you can explain and communicate your work effectively.)

The presentation of physics topics aims to be self-contained, but it is best to come prepared. This means remembering your undergraduate classical and quantum physics.

For documentation of codes and works, use of latex and markdown is recommended.
