    Condition
    The goal Introducing students to the methods for software implementation of mathematical and physical models developed for certain physical phenomena, which can be, due to phenomenological similarities, adapted and applied on the variety of phenomena in topics covered not only by physics, but other mathematical and engineering sciences, as well as human or social sciences.
    The outcome Acquiring necessary skills for computer modeling of physical phenomena. Performing simulations of systems from the field of electrical engineering, medicine, biology, economy, sociology, climatology, etc.
