Mr. P Solver

Mr. P Solver is a coding channel focused on Python, with a physics and maths slant. Alongside tutorials, it is known for short comedy sketches about programmers, physicists and students.

The tutorials show how to use Python to solve physics problems, run simulations and analyse data. Recent videos include a GPU-accelerated simulation and a series on a Monte Carlo simulator used in medical imaging. The sketches are light-hearted and poke fun at the habits of coders and scientists. The channel has not posted since October 2024, but its tutorials are still useful. The tutorials show real code on screen and explain the physics behind each step, so viewers learn both at once.

Some highlights include:

A Python simulation of an ideal gas that runs on a graphics card, showing how thousands of particles can be modelled at once.

Part of a series on using a Monte Carlo simulator for SPECT, a medical imaging technique used in hospitals.

The channel has around 151,000 subscribers.

Mr. P Solver is a good way into computational physics and scientific computing. Engineers increasingly use code to simulate designs before building them. The channel connects to careers in medical physics, data science, physics research and simulation engineering. Learning to turn a physics equation into a working simulation is a skill used across aerospace, energy and healthcare. Python is also the most common first language for scientists and engineers.
