The course illustrates computer simulations of dynamical systems. Examples from the industry are given, but the main focus of the course lies on many-body systems. We cover chaotic systems, systems with short-ranged forces, molecular dynamics in three dimensions, systems with long-ranged forces, plasma simulations, the Vlasov model, methods for classical fluids and hybrid methods.
