	TR074 Computational Chemistry/Computational Physics
		Recent advances in computational chemistry have led to an explosive growth in a range of applications which span from the modelling of how electrons are arranged in atoms to the structure and properties of molecules and materials such as drug-proteins interactions or catalysts.
		Computers are used by physicists to simulate many physics experiments and solve complex equations that arise in theoretrical physics.
		Computing has found a home in most areas of physics now (astrophysics, solid state physics, high energy physics, materials physics, etc) and computational physicists with computational and mathematical skills, as well as the usual knowledge of physics, are needed in these areas.

	Computational physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical algorithms in order to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists.
		Computational methods are widely used in solid state physics, fluid mechanics and lattice quantum chromodynamics among other areas.
		Computational physics borrows a number of ideas from computational chemistry - for example, the density functional theory used by computational physicists to calculate properties of solids is basically the same as that used by chemists to calculate the properties of molecules.

	7.1 Why computational physics? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Computer simulations allow us to make models of a physical system and then watch the evolution of the model almost as if we were performing an experiment in a real laboratory.
		Computer simulations have come to play a significant role in physics research.
		Some significant discoveries in physics have been made by performing ``computer experiments'' in ``virtual laboratories.'' Until the recent past, physics was divided into two major fields, theoretical physics and experimental physics.

		Computational physics may be broadly defined as 'the science of using computers to assist in the solution of physical problems, and to further physics research' Computers now play a role in almost every branch of physics and the following list provides some examples of areas that lie within the scope of computational physics:
		Computer graphics and visualisation now play an important role in the scientific process as they can provide a greater understanding of physical processes.
		Advances in microelectronics, numerical analysis and computer science all impact on computational physics and so is important that practitioners of the subject are aware of developments in these fields.

	Undergraduate Degree in Computational Physics
		The OSU Physics Department has already developed an award-winning two-quarter course in Computational Physics, a text book that serves as an international model for an undergraduate CP course, web-based tutorials and demonstrations that enhance the course and the text, and a course in Introductory Scientific Computing.
		Because the research laboratory for computational physics is a virtual world created by the computer, it is easier and quicker to work in this advanced research lab than in a "wet" one.
		There are also departmental computers in the Computer Interfacing Lab, in the General Physics labs, and in the Astronomy la, as well as numerous computers available on campus.
