This optional course focuses on solving physics problems on the computer. It includes the use of the Python language for scientific programming, with particular emphasis on visualization and animation. It provides an introduction to the possibilities offered by numerical physics through various simulations (FDTD simulation of the propagation of a 1D electromagnetic wave, etc.).

The course aims to provide an initial general introduction to physics as it relates to the biological sciences, and to put into context the use of modern physics concepts, methods and approaches to describe biological systems and their complexity, from the molecular to the cellular scale. This means understanding the central role that physics has played over the past century in learning about the organization and dynamics of complex living matter (from cells to populations of individuals). At the same time, we need to understand that biological systems represent a new opportunity for physicists to learn more about the complexity of living matter and its capacity for self-organization, regulation and control, with an eye also to new biomimetic applications.
