Two alternatives to project 3 are now available

We have posted two alternatives to project 3. These projects form a longer project that absorbs projects 3-5. They will be discussed partly at the lab during weeks 40 and 41 and as separate sessions during week 41.  One of the projects is a quantum mechanical project based on the variational Monte Carlo method, with reading material from chapters 11, 12 and 14 in the lecture notes. The other project is a Molecular dynamics project which used differential equations to solve a system of many argon atoms on a lattice structure. The physics behind this system will be discussed during week 41.
