The goal of the course is to introduce the students to the basics of data analysis and machine learning methods as an additional tool for finding patterns in data and issuing predictions, by working with data from various physical systems.

The tasks of the course are to introduce the students to the elements of data analysis - cleaning, analysis and visualization, based on data from real physical systems; to apply the machine learning algorithms by mathematically modelling various physical systems.

The aim of the course is to create an insight into high-performance computing in Physics. The tasks of the course are: (1) to overview applications of parallel algorithms in Physics problems, (2) to overview methods of parallel computing, (3) to learn how to use high-performance libraries, (4) to analyse efficiency of parallel algorithms, (5) to gain an experience in using supercomputing centres.
