Precis: In a department wherein the creation of specific computation physics courses has not been possible, I have devised a mode of computational physics instruction wherein I incrementally integrate computational physics instruction into the traditional format of two upper-level undergraduate course I have taught for many years.
Summary of computational topics covered and skills acquired:
Classical Mechanics
Probability distribution
Ave. site occupation = 4
Poisson Distribution
High binding energy between atoms
Low binding energy between atoms
