    1. Introduction to Physics Computing HT 2008 Lecture 3 Numerical aspects of computing

    2. Outline Motivation Resources Numbers and numerals Solving nonlinear equations Ordinary differential equations

    3. Motivation Algorithms Understand programs like Matlab which just “do it” Solve problems with no analytic solution Match computing realities with calculations in principle Formerly: real time savers when a “computer” was a person
