Description
This is an introductory computational physics course. The course will cover basic computational skills using Python and common scientific Python packages. We will solve a set of programming exercises that enhances both the understanding of introductory physics (Newton's laws, work, energy, momentum) and physics problem solving skills.

Prerequisite: PHYS 121 (C- or better); Corequisite: PHYS 122.

Outcomes: Students should be able to write a Python program to perform numerical calculations in physics and gain computational skills that would be utilized in upper division physics coursework and research.
