This section lists only regular courses tought at two institutions:
(1) Charles University in Prague, and
(2) Purkyne University in Usti n. Lab
Courses at Charles University, Prague
Since 1991 I have been teaching in the winter semester the course COMPUTER SIMULATIONS IN MANY PARTICLE PHYSICS
for graduate students of theoretical and chemical physics,
and for Ph.D. students of both Charles University and
other institutions, primarily Prague Institute of Chemical
Technology.
(sylabus available in Czech).
In 1997 a colleague of mine,
Jiri Kolafa, started teaching some parts of this course and we
were alternating till 2001 when he moved to the Institute of
Chemical Technology. In 2002 Milan Predota filled the gap and has been
teaching part of the course with me since.
Provided that there is a sufficient number of students, this
introductory course is then followed in the spring semester by an
advanced course APLICATIONS OF COMPUTER SIMULATIONS
Although in these courses some specific methods used for quantum systems
are also covered, the main focus is on classical systems, i.e. fluids.
At Charles there has also been tought simultaneously a special course on
quantum simulations by Dr. M. Kotrla from the Institute of Physics,
Academy of Sciences.
We have decided recently to join our forces and have
written a textbook Introduction to computer
simulations. Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods.
(Karolinum - Charles University Press, 1999; in Czech).
(
Contents, demo, errata etc. )
The textbook was soon sold out and a new enlarged and
substantionally revised edition came out in the Spring of 2003.
Courses at Purkyne University, Usti n. Lab.
I joined the Department of Physics of this newly established university
in 1997 to teach various courses on theoretical disciplines.
In addition to my main topics,
INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SIMULATIONS
THERMODYNAMICS AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS
INTRODUCTION TO MOLECULAR PHYSICS
I have also been teaching courses on
ANALYTIC MECHANICS AND MECHANICS OF CONTINUA
MATHEMATICS FOR PHYSISISTS
SELECTED TOPICS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS I, II
