Description
Scientific Computing is, undoubtedly, a fundamental part of science and engineering. It can permeate every aspect of a technical project and, if used effectively, it not only enhances productivity but also ensures reliability.
As such, this lecture aims to contextualize its importance and motivate the series of lectures by providing concrete examples of how scientific computing can be used in the scope of physics.
We will start by configuring the system that will be used throughout this series by creating a virtual environment with Python, JupyterLab and some of the most used modules. Then, some examples will be given of how those modules can be leveraged in the context of physics calculations.
