Computational Science Minor

Computational Science Minor

Description

Along with traditional experimental and theoretical methodologies, advanced work in all areas of science and engineering has come to rely critically on computation. Computer modeling combined with visualization represents a new paradigm for scientific exploration and technological research and development. It permits a new approach to problems that were previously inaccessible. The goal of the computational science program is to enable students to perform computational modeling in problems of technological and societal relevance. To this end, students learn a core set of skills in mathematics, computer programming, visualization, and simulation/modeling. Students may then apply these skills to application areas of interest to them.
