This course is designed quickly to get students up and running
in computational physics.  The first month is spent learning
basic matlab tools such as plotting data and functions, working
with matrix methods, writing program scripts, numerical methods
for differentiation and integration, symbolic math, etc.  After
that a great deal of attention is spent on learning how to solve
differential equations, how to take experimental data and
work with it.  Finally, Fourier techniques are examined for
filtering and analyzing data.
