Computational Physics (CP) is the study and implementation of numerical algorithms to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists. This is the definition given by Wikipedia. In my words its the use of computers to solve physics problems.For explaining most physics theories and also for simulations, it is much easier to use computers. So Computational Physics makes the life of physicists much easier.
We normally use programing languages such as C,C++,Python etc or software such as Matlab,Mathematica,Scilab etc in Computational Physics.
Today, CP plays a major role in all parts of physics, specially after the development of very fast supercomputers. So in this blog I'll be giving out some of the applications of it.
So in short what is the scope and application of computational physics?
