Foil 18 Undergraduate Minor in Computational Science
-- Continued Core Courses CPS312,314

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
CPS 311/312 Introduction to Computational Science I and II (3 credits each)
CPS313/314 Scientific Programming I and II ( 1 credit each)
CPS312/314 Continues CPS311/313 using same System (CM5 with CMFortran in 1995)
Topics: Elementary Linear Programming using the Simplex Method
  • Ordinary Differential Equations -- Standard approachs to Initial Value problems
  • Boundary Value Problems for Simple Elliptic Partial Differential Equations with Iterative Solution
  • Monte Carlo Techniques -- Pseudo-Random Numbers, Quadrature, Metropolis Technique
Philosophy
  • Similar to initial courses CPS 311/313 but the programming exercises are more ambitious
  • Always remind students that this introduction only scratches the surface of any topic covered.
