New Courses Developed
I have been developing a course entitled An Introduction to Scientific
Computing which is designed to teach fundamental concepts in scientifc
computing to graduate and upper level undergraduate students of the
physical sciences. It has been taught twice (Spring 2008 and
Spring 2010) and has been well received by students and other
departments. We use the python programming language to teach
students basic programming concepts, numerical differentiation and
integration, regression analysis, solutions to ODEs, and introduce the
object oriented programming model as well as parallel computing.
To date we have had students from physics, chemistry, biology,
mathematics, and education enroll in the course. The links below are
for a detailed course description and sample lecture slides for two
lectures. Typically I will switch back and forth between slides
and running computer code. The students have access to computers
during lecture and are asked to work through examples along with me
during class.- Introduction to Scientific Computing: Course Description
- Numeric Integration Class Slides
- Solutions to ODEs Class Slides
