IB Scientific Computing

This repository contains the materials for the IB Computing course and some other computing-related problems during the 2024~2025 academic year at the University of Cambridge.

Nothing hard, just some notes and exercises. Enjoy!

Physics Practicals

  • Experiment 6: Hysteresis used this project to collect data from a picoscope (2206A).
  • Experiment 5: Faraday Rotation used this project in the PSD folder during dythering. The project was almost flawless, so there's no need to apply any modifications.
  • Experiment 4: Funky pendulum. I didn't have time to look into this, so I just used Zhen's original version.

Additional

  • Yiran Ma (Peterhouse College) suggested that it's cool to do visualisation of collisions that can estimate $\pi$. I've done the basic calculations here. The topic is indeed interesting, but I don't think it's a good way to estimate $\pi$ (see the short notes at the end of the script). It's always better to use MC.
