Physics and Computer Science

#Branches of Physics

  • Classical mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Electromagnetism
  • Optics
  • Modern Physics

Computer science arouse as a combination of electromagnetism and solid state physics (semiconductors, transistors…). ![[Pasted image 20240306134102.png]]

#Computational Physics

Computer science has also contributed a lot in the development of physics. Computational physics studies how to use numerical methods and computers to solve physics problems.

  • Numerical simulation of differential equations and partial differential equations
  • Statistical mechanics
  • Monte Carlo methods
