Course Aims | ||||||||||||||
Computational Science concentrates on solving scientific problem by computers. Emphasis is placed upon using software packages and programs to solve problems in Physics and Materials Engineering. This course consists of formulating and analyzing problems, simulations and modeling, mathematical and numerical analysis, visualisation through graphics, and preliminary programming. This course introduces scientific problem-solving using Python (or MATLAB) programming. However, no previous programming experience in programming is needed. The focus is problem-solving rather than programming. Scientific problems from Physics and Materials Engineering will be targeted with the aim of introducing the use of computers in science for students who may need such skills in the pursuit of their Major of studies in Applied Physics and Materials Engineering. | ||||||||||||||
