Computational Physics
What was the average?
B+
3.3 GPA across 2 observed terms. Most recent: Fall 2022.
How is it graded?
Not yet verified
No syllabus we can lawfully use has been verified for this course.
How confident is this?
Med
A small number of terms, so read it as a range. The most recent observation is several years old.
From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceThis is an introduction to scientific computing in physics, using Python. Students will be introduced to computational techniques used in a range of physics research areas. By considering select physics topics, students will learn basic computational methods for function analysis (computing integrals and derivatives; finding roots and extrema), resolution of linear and non-linear equations, eigenvalue problems, Fourier analysis, ODEs, PDEs and Monte Carlo techniques. As the course progresses, students will develop their skills at debugging, solution visualization, computational efficiency and accuracy.

What people actually got
Last observed Fall 20222 terms observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
The newest observation is from Fall 2022. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
This rests on 2 reported terms. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.

Counts, not a library. Pyko does not host or distribute course files, and this page is not an offer to supply one — the archive is what lets these pages describe how a course is assessed, which matters most where no syllabus has been verified.
