| 5/3 | Here are the FINAL slides and code! Lecture 26 is on Time
Series Analysis Lec25_Slides Lec25_Code I promised the enhanced GUI code for pyPlotter using Box Sizer, so here it is. Don't forget - projects are due Thursday of exam week! Turn them into the Box folder. There can be NO extensions on the final. |
|
| 4/30 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 25: Introduction to
GUI programming Lec25_Slides Lec25_Code (note this code is a regular .py file instead of a ipython notebook. GUI systems don't work well in notebooks. You should be able to run this directly in Canopy) Work on projects! Here are some supporting materials I have promised: 1. Parallel Computing 2. Runge-Kutta 3. Fourier Transform (for Friday) 4. Background on PDEs |
|
| 4/26 | Here are the slides for Lecture 24: Concepts in Parallel
Computing. The code I had takes some specialized libraries so
I will not post, but will demonstrate in class. Lec24_Slides |
|
| 4/24 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 23: PDES 2 -
Relaxation Methods Lec23_Slides Lec23_Code Also, the permissions for the additional code linked below were messed up, but are now fixed. You should be able to right-click and download it to help with your HW09. I decided to push the due date on HW09 back to Monday. Your proposals have all been returned to your Box folders, so get moving on the projects! |
|
| 4/19 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 22: PDEs 1 Lec22_Slides Lec22_Code I have not posted the screencast for Lec 21 yet but will do so over the weekend. I am also posting HW09 which will be due Friday 4/27 by midnight. The is required only for the graduate students, but undergrads are encouraged to try. This will be the last HW for the semester! I am also posting a slightly more sophisticated version of the wave equation code that can deal with variable wavespeeds. This will help you with your HW. |
|
| 4/16 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 21: Linear Algebra Lec21_Slides Lec21_Code Remember we will not be meeting Wednesday for Lecture 21, but I will be posting a screencast for you. I will also posting HW09 will be on PDEs (our next topic) but will wait until we cover that topic starting Friday. |
|
| 4/11 | 4/16 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 20 on Root Finding. Lec20_Slides Lec20_Code I decided NOT to do a screencast on this, but will cover it during class on Friday. I am ALSO POSTING HW08 on non-linear fitting. Let's get that done by Monday at midnight: HW08 assignment |
| 4/5 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 19: Nonlinear
Regression Methods Lec19_Slides Lec19_Code I hate to say it, but I will have to miss class the next 2 Wednesdays! I will be preparing screencasts for both. PLEASE stay up to date. I will be returning your mid-term projects next week. |
|
| 4/3 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 18: Linear
Regression: Lec18_Slides Lec18_Code A reminder we will not meet Wed. 4/4. I have recorded a screencast for Lecture 18 and it is uploaded to our shared Box folder. Please download and view it in preparation for Lecture 19 on Friday on non-linear regression. |
|
| 4/2 | 4/6 | Sorry for the delay. Here is the HW07
assignment on solutions of systems of ODEs. It will be
due by Friday 4/4 midnight. Note we skipped over HW06 to give
you some extra time on mid-term projects. I must be out of town Wednesday (so we will not meet) but will be posting a webcast for Lecture 18 on Regression Techniques. Please make sure to download the materials and review. |
| 3/27 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 17: Runge-Kutta and
scipy.odeint Lec17_Slides Lec17_Code Here also is handout reading on Runge-Kutta. |
|

and Oscillations Lec15_Slides Lec15_Code Your projects are due in 1 week! How are they coming? |
|
| 3/9 | I am posting a little ore detail about the structure
and content of the mid-term projects. You've already
done the proposal phase (obviously). A reminder you MUST be viewing the screen casts I am posting in Box! We won't have time to review all that material in class. I'm not going to post any HW this week so you can focus on your projects. Do NOT wait until the week before to start - it will not go well I promise. See you the Wed. after Spring Break. |
|
| 3/8 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 14: Introduction to
ODEs Lec14_Slides Lec14_Code I'm pushing the due date for the mid-term projects back to Wed. March 28 |
|
| 3/6 | 3/9 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 13 on Numerical
Integration: Lec13_Slides Lec13_Code I'm also posting the HW05 assignment on numerical differentiation which will be due by midnight on Friday. I recorded a screen-cast for this lecture since I am traveling. It has been uploaded to the shared Box folder. Get working on your mid-term projects! This will be last HW set for the next few weeks so you can concentrate on the projects. |
| 3/1 | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 12: Derivatives 2 Lec12_Slides Lec12_Code Also - I'm giving you and extension on HW04 until Monday midnight |
|
| 2/27 | 3/2 | Here is Lecture 10: 3D Plotting and a little on binary
files. Lec10_Slides Lec10_Code We won't be meeting Wednesday, but I'll have a screen cast posted tonight. Here also is the HW04 assignment in which you need to define a "vector class. The base assignment should be pretty straightforward. The extra parts may take a bit more time, but a useful exercise. |
| 2/22 | I decided to change things around a little. I'm going to
give Lecture 11 on Derivatives on Friday and save Lecture 10
on 3D plotting for the screen cast lecture next Wednesday. Here are the Lecture 11 slides and code: Lec11_Slides Lec11_Code Don't forget HW03 is due Friday by midnight and mid-term project proposals are now due next Friday 3/2. Bring them to class. |

You can ask questions about the lecture material posted (shortly) in the screen cast and your homework. You'll also probably want to download the "data.dat" file for one of the class examples. The Screencasts are going to be posted in a shared Box folder. You will all receive a link by email. I hope to have the Lec03 screencast for 2018 posted sometime Tuesday (likely in the evening). Please view this video BEFORE coming to class! Bring your laptops so you can work! Lec03_Slides Lec03_Code data.dat |
|
| 1/26/18 | 2/2/18 | Here is the HW00 assignment. It's due Friday 2/2 into the Box Folder. |

Here are the slides and code for Lecture 02: Lec02_Slides Lec02_Code We are switching to Box for the homework shared folder. You should have gotten an invitation by email. |
|
| 1/20/18 | -- | Some helpful tips: 1. For code posted here, right-click the link and select "Save Link As ..." to save the python file. 2. You should become familiar with some basic shell commands (or command prompt commands in Windows). Some of these are available from WITHIN the ipython shell. Some common ones are: ls - list files in the current directory pwd - print the path of the working (current) directory cd SomeDirectoryName - change directory cp CurrentFileName NewFileName - makes a copy of a file I am posting a link to a basic Unix tutorial (MacOSX included). You may want to hunt around the internet for your own sources. Google is your friend! |
| 1/20/18 | -- | Here are the slides and code for Lecture 1 Lec01_Slides Lec01_Code We will be using Google Drive for turning in assignments. You should have received an email invitation already. Laptops Historically, most students prefer to bring their own laptops to class and I recommend that you do as well. If you can not get access to a laptop, let me know and I'll see what I can do to get you something during class. In recent years, I have added a good bit of content to the course and thus had to take away from in-class exercises, but we will still do some of that. |
| 1/20/18 | -- |
We will be meeting in the Lewis 104 . I recommend you bring
your own laptop to class. I will post lecture slides and code we explore in class on this page, typically before class. Please review these materials before we meet. |

Welcome
to
Introduction to Scientific Computing. This is the page to which you should refer most often. It is where I will post homework assignments, make announcements, and will be my primary mode of communication with you (other than lectures of course!). Make sure to take a good look at the course syllabus and lecture schedule and let me know if there is anything you do not understand. You should take a look at the Resources page to download and install some python related software on your machine. You are free to install any python distribution you like, but it may be helpful if you install the same distribution we will be using in class which will be the Enthought Canopy. I recommend you go ahead and install Canopy. You will need to create an account with Enthought before downloading the free version. Go here to get started: https://www.enthought.com/product/canopy/ |
