Course Overview

The Physics Through Computational Thinking online program is an eight-week-long course that familiarises you with computational thinking and its application in fundamental undergraduate physics. You will learn to convert physics problems into computer-supported formats for appropriate analysis. The course will extensively take you through the four stages of computational thinking – definition, translation, computation, and interpretation.

With the help of the Physics Through Computational Thinking course by Swayam, you will learn to analytically solve algebraic equations and problems using numerical algorithms on a computer. Also, you will be acquainted with visual thinking using Mathematica, which is a symbolic programming language. You will develop the cognitive ability of computational thinking through physics.

The Physics Through Computational Thinking certification course uses physics to teach computational thinking by taking examples from many areas of physics like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, mathematical methods, classical mechanics, etc. This online program is crafted by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Bhopal.

Eligibility Criteria

Before joining the Physics Through Computational Thinking online course, you must know Physics concepts, including electrostatics, modern physics, and Newtonian mechanics.

Certificate Qualifying Details

The eligibility for the Physics Through Computational Thinking certification depends on your marks obtained as the final score. This score is based on the written exam score (75% weightage) and the average assignment score (25% weightage). The best six assignments will be considered out of the total eight for computing the final score. You must get 10/25 marks in assignments and 30/75 marks in the written exam to receive the certificate successfully.
