PICUP October 2018 Webinar: Unique and Interesting Undergraduate-accessible Computational Problems
Presenter:
Larry Engelhardt
Description:
One advantage of using computational/numerical methods is that problems that would otherwise be too difficult to solve (analytically) are now within reach for undergraduate students. Given this broader array of problems that can potentially be solved -- what are some of the EXCITING problems that students would actually find INTERESTING to solve...without being too difficult for undergraduate students?
We present discussion of activities that enable students to do cool things using computation, that go beyond the typical physics topics/problems, and how these problems can be integrated into undergraduate courses.
