Welcome!

Dear all,

Welcome to this course on computational physics. We look forward to meeting you all!

Here's some practical info, in preparation for the start of teaching:

• Our first lecture will be on Thursday 25 August, at 08:15 in Store fysiske auditorium.
• We have a dedicated course web page for all the fun, technical stuff in the course. This is were you will find things like tutorials, code snippets, project descriptions, etc. (Note that these pages are in active development.)
• Important note for Windows users: This course is based on everyone having access to a Unix terminal, i.e. the basic command-line system used on Linux and Mac. For Windows users this means that you must install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). For instructions, go to the Windows users page under the Getting ready section on the course page.
• There are also Getting ready pages for Mac users and Linux users, about how to install software that we will use in this course.
• In the beginning of the course we will focus on the basics of working with the Unix terminal, Git and C++. If you want to prepare a bit, we encourage you to already now start looking at the sections Using the terminal, Using Git and GitHub and Introduction to C++ on the course web page.

See you all next week!
