Master set for Case Studies of Computational Science -- Overview of 3 Areas (Monte Carlo,CFD/Numerical Relativity,Information Age)

These foils contain the overview of the three areas:

I) Statistical Physics and Optimization

II) Computational Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Relativity i.e. the solution of partial differential equations

III) Some Technologies and Applications of the Information Age

This was meant to be enough Information to allow student to choose which area to do project in -- as project had to be chosen after this overview but before any detailed discussions of any of the areas
