This repository contains all the curriculum and materials for a basic course in scientific computing for physicists. The materials were initially developed over the span of three years (2012-2014) by Jennifer Klay in collaboration with Brian Granger at Cal Poly for the course PHYS 202: Physics on the Computer, a 4-unit introductory course taken by sophomore undergraduate physics majors after completion of their introductory physics and math courses.
