  • Part1
  • Part2
  • Source code:

    The new place for these codes is not on github: https://github.com/haulek/CompPhysics

    local copy of the code:

  • Plots of Mandelbrot set using fortran, C++, Perl and Python
  • Glues fortran and C++ to Python using f2py and pybind11
  • Computes Bessel functions with upward and downward recursion, shows the error.


  • Prints some numeric limits
  • Calling a Fortran routine in C++. Simple example to compute modified erfc function
  • Calling a minimization Fortran routine in C++. Using static class function to avoid use of global variables.
  • .emacs
  • small plot script
