Week 5

See the project information page to start preparing your project proposal. Three topics needed by many students:

Solving path problems on phelafel and phclasses - download .cshrc to your main directory. Then write source .cshrc

Visualization with AViz - scheduled for next weeek.

Help with html for webpages - at end of lecture, time permitting, students who know sourcecode html may leave. First pick your computer for the website. I recommend phelafel for anyone, physics for physics students and others can use their faculty server if its allowed. The options with tx/staff are bit complicated and unstable. If its a new account and new website follow these instructions. Then download sample webpage from here and edit it to your taste.

Programs for this week week5.tar and installation instructions. If you take executables from websites remember to write e.g. chmod +x ex2.ex to make it ready to run. Now we will start to cover material from chapter 3 of Koonin, concerning boundary value and eigenvalue problems. This is a continuation of the discussion on differential equations, delving into some special cases in detail.

We will view videos of solutions of Schroedinger equations and mpegs of these can be downloaded from the psa site.

For a cute comparison we can view Molecular Dynamics used to simulate vibrations in nanotubes, see: here.
