My lecture notes and computational projects from my Master's in Physics (2024–2025) at Imperial College London. One folder per module. Everything here is my own work.
I am Eugene (Yoogeun) Song, now a PhD researcher in high-energy physics at Imperial (from 2026 onwards), working on neutrinos with DUNE and NOvA.
For more details, see the Research section of my website.

Numerical physics in Mathematica. Contains my mini-project, Quantum Waves in Motion: a finite-difference time-domain solver for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, with animations of wave-packet dispersion, reflection and tunnelling across four potentials. Awarded the highest grade by Dr Jaroslaw Pasternak. It also showcases the Runge-Kutta method. This is a five-week mini-project rather than a full research project.

This repository contains only my own handwriting and code. It deliberately excludes lecture notes, slides, problem sheets and past examination papers produced by Imperial College London or by any other institution or author. Those remain the copyright of their authors, and redistributing them is not mine to do. If you are after the official course material, go through your department.
These are student notes, so they will contain mistakes. If you spot one, please open an issue or a pull request; corrections are genuinely welcome.
