Annotation
The lectures combined with practical calculations give an idea about using computers in the everyday work of a physicist (calculations, elements of numerical mathematics, drawing figures, writing articles, communication). Individual lectures are built on examples and more stimulate than replace a thorough study of numerical mathematics and further disciplines.
A lot of space for original students works.
