Description:
From the Preface of the "Granada Seminar on
Computational Physics" Proceedings Series:
"The methods developed to deal with the computational aspects of physical problems are useful in an increasing number of situations, from chemistry, biology and geology to engineering, communications and economics. In fact, computational physics has evolved into a trans-disciplinary field now concerned with the creative use of computers in scientific research. Moreover, computational methods often help students to develop a deeper understanding of key concepts, and enhance their problem-solving abilities. Therefore, computational physics is recognised as having an important educational value, and educators face the task of outlining appropriate curricula to take advantage of these unique features."
This was an important motivation for setting up the Seminar on Computational Physics which is held in Granada every two years since 1990.
