Is knowledge of numerical methods and knowledge of complex numbers required for the Physics Aptitude Test for Oxford University?
Can you give me an example of how numerical methods are used in physics?
Sure. Numerical methods are used to solve difficult equations that cannot be solved analytically. For example, if we have an equation that cannot be solved directly, we can use numerical methods to approximate the solution by breaking it down into smaller steps and using algorithms to compute the result.
