Dear colleague, we would like to draw your attention to our DPG-School on Physics Efficient Algorithms in Computational Physics Physics Center Bad Honnef, Germany, 10. - 14. September 2012 http://www.dpg-physik.de/dpg/pbh/aktuelles/S112.html?lang=en& Computer simulations play an ever increasing role in physics research. This school will provide an introduction to the field, including up-to-date research topics. A particular emphasis of this school will be efficient algorithms, which allow one to study larger system sizes than with standard approaches. Since doing computer simulations means learning by doing, the school comprises, in addition to lectures, of a considerable amount of HANDS-ON EXERCISES at the computer, which makes this school rather special in its field. The school addresses students which have a physics background and basic knowledge in a higher programming language. like Pascal, C/C++, or Fortran. The language used throughout the school will be the C programming language (and some Python scripts). The school is highly subsidized by the German Physical Society (DPG), which result in small fees, e.g., for students who are DPG members only 215 Euros for full boarding and including lodging. There is no registration deadline, but we have a limited number of places. The registration is FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED. The school is organized by Alexander K. Hartmann (Oldenburg) and A. Peter Young (Santa Cruz). Other Lecturers: Anthonius Coolen, King's College, London, UK Helmut G. Katzgraber, Texas A&M University, College Station, USA Werner Krauth, Ecole Normale Superieure Paris, France Frauke Liers, University of Cologne, Germany Roger G. Melko, University of Waterloo, Canada Heiko Rieger, University of Saarbruecken, Germany Robert M. Ziff, University of Michigan, Ann Abor, USA More information, poster, application form, etc, see http://www.dpg-physik.de/dpg/pbh/aktuelles/S112.html?lang=en& Please forward this announcement to people who might be interested in the school. Thank you very much. Best regards Alexander Hartmann and Peter Young ------------------------------------------------------ Prof. Dr. Alexander K.
