Objective
The course provides an introduction to techniques for simulating complex systems and processes with many degrees of freedom, with an emphasis on applications of such techniques. The first week contains introductory lectures. This is followed by five one-week projects in different areas (astronomy, medical radiation physics, biophysics, particle physics and chemistry). The course ends with a longer project in one of these five areas.
