UIUC Course: Phys 466/MatSE 485 / CSE 485
Atomic-Scale Simulations

Spring 2009: Held Monday and Wednesday 2:00-3:20 in 4101 MSEB

In alternating years, course is taught by D.D. Johnson (MatSE/Physics/CSE) and D. Ceperley (Physics/NCSA/CSE).


THE OBJECTIVE is to learn and apply fundamental techniques used in (primarily classical) simulations in order to help understand and predict properties of microscopic systems in materials science, physics, chemistry, and biology.

THE EMPHASIS will be on connections between the simulation results and real properties of materials (structural or thermodynamic quantities), as well as numerical algorithms and systematic and statistical error estimations.

FOR WHOM? This class is oriented for graduate or advanced undergraduate atudents. All necessary concepts at developed in the course. A course project is required (see Teams and Projects in navigator bar).
