The school year is divided up in four parts, each one is 7 weeks. The first one is over now and it feels really awesome, because this means I have almost 4 days of complete freedom.
Next period will start on Monday and I will start a new course and continue the big-ass nuclear+atomic physics course. The new course will be numerical methods for solving differential equations.
The purpose of the course is to give knowledge about methods of numerical calculations and using computers to approximately solve both ordinary and partial differential equations. This involves construction, analysis and application of numerical methods and computational algorithms for differential equations. Solving problems with computers is a central part of this course.
Which actually sounds pretty fun!
But I have signed up for an extra course as well, and I can’t really decide whether or not to actually take it. The course name is Complex Economy and this is the course home page and this is the description:
Why do banks, consulting firms and insurance companies hire more and more physicists? – Because the methods from statistical physics become increasingly important to model economical systems and, in particular, the capital markets. This course is an introduction to this quickly expanding field. It is often called Complex Economy or Econophysics.
The only real downside of taking this course is that it adds two lectures per week, and one of them is on Monday mornings. This really sucks since my first lecture on Mondays would be at 1pm otherwise. The upside of this is that I will get 2 hours every Monday that I’m pretty much forced to stay in school and work. But since I can’t decide I thought I would let you decide!
