Brief description of content
During the course a student will learn the main methods that are used in the modelling of physical processes. THe mothods will cover processes from micro to macro scale. The topics that will be presented are: density functional theory for quantum mechanical modelling of a material, monte carlo and molecular dynamics for empirical atomistic simulations, finite element method for studying processes in the continuum and mathematical methods for solving differential equations. Additionally, all topics are accompanied with practical exercises that help to understand the topics even further.
