Computer modeling of physical phenomenon characterized by involving all fundamental physical laws describing nature events under consideration. The main aim of computer modeling is “understanding, not numbers”. Computer modeling suggests investigative nature of learning physics.
Computer modeling became very important in contemporary science because classical calculus more appropriate for linear problems, but nature phenomena usually have nonlinear behavior. Nonlinear problems can be solved by classical calculus only in very rare cases, and computer modeling gives powerful tool for research.
The question “How physical problem can be formulated on computer language?” rises new insight in understanding physical phenomena. This understanding reached in several steps.
Computer modeling starts with design of idealized model of physical system, including corresponding simplifications. On the next step, it is necessary to develop algorithm for realization of the model. After generic model is created it should be investigated for wide spectrum of parameters. Such investigation is called computational experiment.
In course “Physics. Computer modeling” students should learn all described steps of investigation gradually moving from the simplest models toward more and more sophisticated models.

Complex analysis is a core subject in pure and applied mathematics, as well as the physical and engineering sciences. While it is true that physical phenomena are given in terms of real numbers and real variables, it is often too difficult and sometimes not possible, to solve the algebraic and differential equations used to model these phenomena without introducing complex numbers and complex variables and applying the powerful techniques of complex analysis.
Complex variables is a beautiful area from a purely mathematical point of view, as well as a powerful tool for solving a wide array of applied problems. It is related to many mathematical disciplines, including in particular real analysis, differential equations, algebra and topology. The numerous applications include all kinds of wave propagation phenomena such as those occurring in electrodynamics, optics, fluid mechanics and quantum mechanics, diffusion problems such as heat and contaminant diffusion, engineering tasks such as the computation of buoyancy and resistance of wings, the flows in turbines and the design of optimal car bodies, and signal processing and communication theory.
