Foil 10 Comments on CPS615 Content Compared to Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Methods (in Physics) Courses

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
At Caltech, we used to teach in physics a basic course in Mathematical methods to undergraduates which was required for physics majors
Non-physics majors chose between this and a corresponding course taught in engineering by applied mathematics
Compared to these courses, CPS615 has less formal numerical methods than either of these courses but at Caltech neither course discussed computer architecture, how to exploit architecture to get good performance and more importantly, never discussed software issues.
