CSI 701 - Foundations of Computational Science

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Computational and Data Sciences  
Covers mapping of mathematical models to computer software, including all aspects of developing scientific software such as architecture, data structures, advanced numerical algorithms, languages, documentation, optimization, validation, verification, and software reuse. Examples in bioinformatics, computational biology, computational physics, and global change demonstrate scientific advances enabled by computation. Class projects involve working in teams to develop software that implements mathematical models, using software to address important scientific questions, and conducting computational experiments with it.

Prerequisite(s): Competency in UNIX and programming at CSI 501 level, and CSI 690; or permission of instructor
Schedule Type: LEC
Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
Hours of Lab or Studio per week: 0
