PHYS 3730/6720	Introduction to Computers in Physics		FALL 2006

Announcements

Please monitor this page for course-related announcements.

• 08-Dec-2006. Solutions to a11 are now posted. Location is ~p6720/jb.

• 28-Nov-2006. Final Exam is 1:00-3:00 PM, Friday December 15th. Location is the South Physics computer lab.

• 20-Nov-2006. A10, PROBLEM #1 HAS CHANGED! A negative number (e.g. v) to a fractional power (e.g. 1.1) is imaginary. D'oh!

• 14-Nov-2006. See the hints I have typed up for Assignment 9, Exercise 2. You can either get them from the assignment page or from here.

• 10-Nov-2006. See tweaks to Assignment 9. Please turn in both .mws and .txt files.

• 10-Nov-2006. Homework solutions posted to ~p6720/solved/a07, a08

• 04-Nov-2006. Small changes to Assignment 8. Should be easier!

• 01-Nov-2006. Hints on evaluating goodness-of-fit have been added to Assignment 7, Exercise 2.

• 31-Oct-2006. If you're having trouble compiling xlfit.cpp, have a look at the working version in ~p6720/jb .

• 24-Oct-2006. The final project for P6720 students (optional extra credit for P3730 students) has been posted on the assignments page. An in-class handout was also given out on 23-October.

• 21-Sep-2006. Assignment 04, Problem 2, has been updated AGAIN, with all recent changes since the last class marked in red. (Apologies, I seemed to be unable to transcribe the 2s wavefunction correctly...I believe it's right, now.) There was a missing factor of (1/a)^1.5; if you are working in length units of Bohr radii, you won't notice any change in your results by inserting the missing factor.

• 20-Sep-2006. Assignment 04, Problem 2, has been updated. Please see the latest version, wherein corrections are noted in a red font.

• 06-Sep-2006. Assignment 02 is due Wednesday, 13-Sep. The date in the submit utility has now been corrected. All assignments will be due on Wednesdays from now on, unless otherwise specified.

• 06-Sep-2006. The submit command now works. Thanks to system administrator Brad Hawks.

• 30-Aug-2006. Problems with the submit command. If you have trouble using the submit command, please try logging into the physics server orion. You may do this by typing ssh orion and then your usual password. Submit should work from there. Also please note that due to system problems, the du command (relevant to assignment 01) may not behave well, depending on which server you are logged into. In this case, du works from the server draco, but not orion. These are transient problems, owing to a software upgrade, and will be fixed shortly.

• 30-Aug-2006. New website for 3730/6720! The class website is now www.physics.utah.edu/~p6720 If you point your browser at the old website, it will automatically redirect you to the new one.

• 08-Aug-2006. Welcome to PHYS 3730/6720! The course web pages are currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION, so please visit again as we get closer to the start of the semester.
