Average Course Rating

A single raindrop contains ~10^22 atoms but few problems with three or more particles can be solved by hand. High performance computing gives researchers the ability to simulate billions of atoms and numerically solve otherwise intractable problems. This course gives students an interactive introduction to using supercomputers to simulate matter at the atomic scale and analyze the resulting behavior with Python. Students will learn the basic skills of a computational scientist and use them to explore applications in engineering, biology, and physics. No prior knowledge of programming necessary.
