Note: This course is open to all MSU students, and
enrollment is by override only!<br>
<br>
Are you interested in learning how to use computers to
solve cutting-edge scientific problems? Would you
like to be able to model evolutionary processes,
predator-prey interactions, traffic, fluid flow,
molecular dynamics, satellite orbits, and other
scientifically interesting topics? Would you like to
learn to do scientific visualization and write
software for supercomputers? If so, this is the class
for you! The goal of this course is to give science
and math majors of all sorts an introduction to
computational science, and to put your programming
skills to use solving interesting and fun problems in
a range of subjects. The course will be taught using
a workshop format, with short presentations and
laboratory exercises. There will also be a semester
project where you will use your new skills to solve a
problem that is relevant to you and your career
interests!<br>
<br>
To be successful in this course, you should have taken
CSE-231 or have the equivalent Python programming
experience, and have completed Calculus II or higher.
Admission to the course is open to all students, and
is by override only (with a maximum of 12 students).<br>
<br>
