Computing Workshops

Department of Physics and Astronomy

University of Leicester



The computing workshops listed below are an integrated sequence of practical teaching modules which provide a comprehensive introduction to computing for physicists. In the 1st year there is an Introduction to procedural programming using C. A 2nd year follow-up course, also using C, provides an introduction to Modular programming. These courses give every student a firm grounding in basic programming principles with emphasis on procedural and modular programming in the context of numerical computation. Two Fortran 90 workshops are also available for those who wish to learn these principles using Fortran. The others workshops are available to third and fourth year students and provide an introduction to programming for data analysis, object-oriented programming and programming of hardware interfaces.
