The elective course "Computer modeling of physical processes"

a Post relevant to Petersburg students in grades 8-11 and their parents.

I, along with the organization the Centre of technical creativity of youth in St. Petersburg state Polytechnical University and a mug of "Do it Yourself!" FML №239, engaged in scientific activities associated with computer modeling of various physical processes: the Brazilian test, vibration drilling, artificial ceramics, a couple of months ago I defended my master's on the subject (poster).

Despite the complexity and knowledge intensity of computer simulation, many aspects can be mastered by the students. This opens up for students a new path for solution of physical tasks (using programming) teaches you to competently implement the physical model in its programmistam work (for example, useful when creating his toys); and for some, a computer simulation may become a future profession.



At the moment there is a shortage of educational courses on the basics of computer modeling. To resolve the emptiness was held at Academy of computer science for school Students short-term educational elective for spring break (March 2012), which would be an introduction to the topic of computer simulation of physical processes.

More info about the course



From 19 to 23 March, from 18:00 to 21:30 (4 hours daily), a total of 20 hours.
Program elective I will not copy-paste, it here.
The initial requirements for the students: basic programming skills in Visual Basic or Pascal/PascalABC/Delphi; basic knowledge of physics "Kinematics" and "Dynamics" (it is desirable an understanding of what the equations of motion and Newton's second law).

The result of the work of each student will be creative work in the field of computer modeling (for example, its a simple implementation of Angry Birds/Worms).

Total, by results of passing of the course the students:
the
    the
  • sistematizirovat knowledge of the sections of the school physics course ("Kinematics" and "Dynamics", as well as basic knowledge of the sections "Static", "Electromagnetism", "Optics");
    • the
  • get acquainted with various methods of computer simulation and real-world examples of their use;
    • the
  • will learn to apply computer simulation methods for the solution of physical problems from areas of "Kinematics" and "Dynamics";
    • the
  • will perform the attestation creative work (which can then be read at school).
    • the
  • will receive a certificate of completion of the elective.


Elective paid.
Detailed information and registration for the elective: 703-02-02 (10:00-18:00). it is Desirable to have time to register before the first class

UPD. successfully passed the Elective, the students are happy :) Who doesn't believe is ready to send pictures feedback from students.

Automatically create Liquibase migrations for PostgreSQL

Изображение
Working with Liquibase always brings confidence in the fact that the database objects are in the same condition in which you want it. It is this confidence and makes system migrations so popular databases. Today I want to tell you how to make using liquibase a bit easier. If you write a migration by hand, and your target database is PostgreSQL, then read this article, I am sure, the time spent on reading the article will be repaid with interest. I hope you already know how to work with Liquibase, so only two words describe how the system works. In order to make changes in the database, you need to create a migration file (changeset) that you need to specify in the file change log (changelog), after which the migration can be successfully applied to the target database. Undeniable and obvious benefit of this approach is the ability to rollback the changes. In my opinion, liquibase, there is only one drawback — the automatic rollback of changes only works only if the mi

Vkontakte sync with address book for iPhone. How it was done

the Background application on androidphone when you install the application Vkontakte is possible to use it as a provider of contacts to synchronize the contacts from Facebook with contacts in your address book. In this case stretches the avatar, date of birth, address, phone numbers, etc. When I after prolonged use HTC Wildfire S rated and are so used to this that he wanted to find a similar to the iPhone. Not found, so we took it and made his own — Synchronizer VKontakte :) It was back in November of last year. The application was done fairly quickly — it uses quite a few functions of Vkontakte API and functionality with the address book of the iPhone. But when we started to deal with the automatic matching of contacts, it was fun. Compare head-on by name, last name and phone number was easy to do, easy, and worked through it quickly. But found only 20 percent of coincidences of the contacts from what is provider in Android. Of course, only direct hits do not sui

What part of the archived web

/ > the time Machine Internet Archive is the largest and well-known archive that preserves web pages since 1995. Besides him there are a dozen other services, which are also archived to the web: the indexes of search engines and industry-specific archives like Archive-It , UK Web Archive , Cite Web , ArchiefWeb , Diigo . Interesting to know how many web pages gets into these files, relative to the total number of documents in the Internet? It is known that the base of the Internet Archive for 2011 contains more than 2.7 billion URIs , many of them in multiple copies taken at different points in time. For example, the home page of Habra "photographed" already 518 times since July 3, 2006 . It is also known that the base reference Google five years ago overstepped the mark in trillion unique URLS , although many of the documents were duplicated. Google is not able to perform all URLS, so the company decided to count the number of documents in the Internet a
