Physics. The curriculum for this class covers the modeling ofmolecular interactions, minimization techniques, Monte Carlo calculations and moleculardynamics simulation. The primary challenge of this class has been to teach an understanding ofthese methods to students with diverse backgrounds in computer programming, mechanics andstatistical physics. In order to meet this challenge the class reviews fundamental concepts in eachof these subject areas. Computer programming assignments play a key role in developing studentunderstanding, but programming assignments can easily overwhelm students unfamiliar withprogramming. Object oriented programming techniques using C++ mitigate the complicationsinvolved in programming assignments. Providing sample
