We will focus on problems of interest in physics that are accessible to undergraduates. No previous experience with Mathematica or parallel computing is necessary, although having worked through the tutorial "The First Five Minutes with Mathematica" would be helpful. Just launch Mathematica on the laptop and it will come up.=0A=0AAssumed background: basic computer literacy; either 2 years of undergraduate physics or a bachelors degree in mathematics, or equivalent.
