The Physics Student Scientific Association of Lorestan University, on the occasion of Research and Technology Week, held a student-centered workshop on programming with MATLAB and simulating physics problems, taught by Dr. Hossein Doosti, a faculty member of the Physics Department of Lorestan University.
According to the Public Relations of Lorestan University, in this workshop, which was held on Monday, December 17th of the current year at the Faculty of Basic Sciences of Lorestan University, Dr. Hossein Doosti told the students:
"With the increase in the capabilities of home computers compared to previous generations, numerical methods in solving problems are recognized as an inevitable matter in the field of university education.
Most physical problems are finding quantities, most of which are matrix or vector quantities.
In order to solve and numerically simulate physical problems, there are various programming languages, each of which has capabilities and weaknesses.
Among this variety of programming languages, the MATLAB programming language, due to its graphical capabilities for drawing two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphs and considering variables in matrix form and having numerous mathematical functions within its library functions, can currently be considered as the most suitable programming language for this purpose.
In this workshop, efforts were made to familiarize students with the environment of this programming language and, with the aim and focus on solving basic physics problems, to present several physical examples whose programs were written by the instructor {Dr. Hossein Doosti} and their outputs were presented.
The purpose of holding the workshop was to realize the fact that students can program and solve their physics problems in this environment."
