Computational and Mathematical Physics
Objectives :
This international school will consist
of lectures of some of the many facets that constitute computational science.
Our aim is to cover a broad spectrum of topics and we want to present a
mixture ranging from simple introductory material including simple exercises
to reports of serious applications. This is not meant to be an introductory
session on computational science nor is it a research conference. Rather, the
school provides the participants with an overview of computational and
mathematical physics, their basic methods and their many areas of
applications. It is hoped that the school will lead the participants into new
and "hot" topics of research, but the participants are not expected
to have specific knowledge of the topics and methods a-priori although an
interest in natural sciences is required.
The scientific content of the School is
selected to provide a thorough introduction into current research activities
in computational science. The topics covered in this School therefore cover a
wide spectrum, ranging from the more traditional areas of Computational
Physics and Chemistry to topics of modern Computer Science such as Cluster
Computing, Neural Computing and Quantum Information Processing and reaching
out to applications in Geomathematics, Biological Physics, and Applied
Mathematics.
Coordinators of the school:
- Rudolf A. Römer (Department of
Physics and Center for Scientific Computing, University of Warwick, UK)
- Janak R. Wedagedera (Department of
Mathematics, University of Ruhuna, SL)

The School comprises of 8 themes and the objectives in these
different areas are given below:
- Computational Physics:
- Statistical and quantum physics, disordered quantum systems, iterative
diagonalization techniques
- Quantum Computing:
- Introductory concepts in quantum/classical information theory, recent
developments in quantum error-correcting codes.
- Computational Biology:
- Statistical mechanical/computational methods in cellular biology,
immunology, Bioinformatics
- Neural Computing:
- Use of methods in statistical mechanics to solve problems in
computational complexity, optimization.
- Computational Applied Mathematics:
- Numerical solutions of boundary value problems with adaptive grid
techniques, multi-grid methods
- Geomathematics:
- Concepts of modern constructive approximations with applications in
mathematical geophysics. Topics include
- Grid and Cluster Computing:
- Modern parallel-programming paradigms, Grid, Web Services
- Computational Chemistry:
- Charge-transfer processes, modelling chemical reactions at the molecular
level
Prerequisites :
Participants in the School are expected to be research students (M. Phil.
and Ph. D. candidates), post-doctoral students, university teachers and others.
Junior scientists involved in diverse programmes of applied mathematics,
theoretical physics and computing (scientific computation and modelling) are
especially welcomed.
