Numerical physics class project

Many body simulation (FMM method)

---

Project organisation

• src: production source code.
• test: tests and data analysis.
• cpp: C++ implementation of the FMM algorithm.

Installation (python part)

With uv

uv is recommended to have the right python version installed, as it manages both python versions and packages.

uv sync

Then you can activate the virtual environment created in .venv to use python, or prefix all your python commands with uv run :

uv run some_script.py
uv run pytest test/test_fmm.py -s

Using uv

Handle python packages

• Install a library: uv add <library>
• Remove a library: uv remove <library>
• Install libraries from pyproject.toml: uv sync

Run tests

After running uv sync, you can run the tests in the test directory with the following command:

uv run pytest test/*.py -s
