What’s Applied Physics is doing in computers?
One of my kids took Applied Physics (AP) in college. Ok, so she wants to be an “Einstein” – that’s what I thought. She often makes her college notes available to us (parents). As expected, I saw notes on forces, space-time, Inertia, and other Physics’ terminologies.
Lately I saw some notes on processor programming, terms such logic gates, asynchronous CPUs, ALUs, and lots of machine language programming notes – all relating to studies of computers.
What AP is doing in studies of microprocessors or computers? I thought these are all the sole domain of Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
I don’t think she has changed her college course.

I don't know specifically, but, the transistor sizes on IC's are getting small enough that traditional electronic analysis isn't enough to describe the characteristics of the transistors.

They don't need to be related. It's just part of a broader education. I studied Computer Science at the university, so most classes were about computer stuff, but we also had things like quantum mechanics, chemistry, applied physics and so on.

Seems similar to Newtonian physics -- that can be used for interplanetary computations but not accurate enough for intergalactic computations?

Ok, so it's like when I was in college I studied social sciences - but I also have intermediate mathematics as one of my subjects.
Thanks all,

Thanks all,
math is necessary in computer science sometimes you need more math than computer
have a look at scientific article you need to know more math than IT(especuially in electericla and hardware engineering as well as artificial intelligensce)
making up a database IDS by neural networks article, I need to know more math for blasting my prospective professors
I hope they publish my work unless i have to put it at codeguru :D

one of the applications of physics in computer sciense is Particle swarm optimization (PSO)
even though there are some binary optimization geomagnetic search algorithm

Math is more than necessary. Do you realize how many mathematicians invented the best algorithm in computer science? it is more than ppl who are pure than computer science
