| Course Description |
Basic mathematical operations: scattering by a central potential. Ordinary differential equations: stability, order and chaos in two- dimensional motion. Boundary value and eigenvalue problems: stationary solutions of the one-dimensional Schroedinger equation. Special functions and Gaussian quadrature: Born and eikonal approximations to quantum scattering. Matrix operations: determining nuclear charge densities. Elliptic partial differential equations: elliptic equations in two dimensions. Parabolic partial differential equations: the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. Monte Carlo methods: the lsing model in two dimensions. Fast Fourier transform: diffraction, image processing.
