Will offer an introduction to unix command language and
programming skills relevant to Astronomy. Emphasis on
writing algorithms and code programming in Python, C ++, or
Fortran. Some elements of IDL and IRAF are covered.
Problems will come from physics and astrophysics that will
be solved using numerical methods and mathematical
algorithms presents in the PHYS 260 lecture. Topics covered
are integration methods, interpolation, error estimation,
eigenvalues and eigenvectors, linear and non-linear
equations, Fourier methods, random numbers and Monte
Carlo methods. Pre: PHYS 272 or PHYS 173, PHYS 260 (may be
