Description

Numerical calculations (what many call computational physics) is a core tool in modern physics.� With numerical methods it�s possible to solve problems that would otherwise be impossible.� Most physics students and educators have at least some exposure to the wave equation.� It shows up in many different contexts�light, quantum mechanics, and even a simple wave on a string.� However, it can be difficult to come up with non-trivial solutions to the wave equation.� This text goes through the techniques to create a numerical model of the wave equation starting from the very basics and using free and open source tools such as Python and Web VPython.Typham this is the title: Modeling Waves with Numerical Calculations Using Python
