The Computational Physics Laboratory 2 Course (LFC2, code 84470) is worth 6 credits and takes place in the first semester of the following years: 3rd L-30; 2nd LM-17. Classes are held in Italian (English under request).
The course provides numerical analysis methods for physics problems and advanced methods of data analysis.
The course deals with computational physics, addressing the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations and partial derivatives, and advanced methods of data analysis, dealing with Monte Carlo simulation rudiments, deepening the best-fit techniques and giving an overview of multivariate signal/background separation techniques.
The course also aims to extend the C++ programming skill (acquired during the first year) by more in-depth study of Object-Oriented programming in C ++ and providing rudiments of Python and shell scripting. Higher level packages will be also used (ROOT, Octave / Matlab).
Lectures and laboratory exercises.
