Welcome to Mathematical Modeling in Physics

PHY 415, called, "Mathematical Methods for Physicists" is a course the brings together many of the mathematical approaches that we commonly use in physics and apply them to variety of problems. In this course, we will take a modeling-based approach where we focus on the mathematical descriptions of physical phenomenon and determine what mathematical and analytical approaches are useful in exploring those models.

To get a sense of the course, please read all the pages associated with our syllabus.

Learning Objectives

In this course, you will learn to:

• investigate physical systems using a variety of tools and approaches,
• construct and document a reproducible process for those investigations,
• use analytical, computational, and graphical approaches to answer specific questions in those investigations,
• provide evidence of the quality of work using a variety of sources, and
• collaborate effectively and contribute to a inclusive learning environment
