CS 3200 - Introduction to Scientific Computing

Welcome to the CS 3200 - Introduction to Scientific Computating class webpage. Here you will find bacis class information and resources.

CS 3200 will present scientific computation relevant to computational science and engineering, with an emphasis on the process of modeling, simulation, visualization and evaluation. Possible topics related to the five areas include: (modeling) continuous and statistical modeling; (simulation) solving and linear and non-linear systems, interpolation and approximation, numerical differential equations; (analysis) data mining and machine learning; (visualization) scalar and vector field visualization techniques; (evaluation) connection of results back to case-studies of interest from areas such as physics, biology, etc. Basic knowledge of programming, matrix operations, and calculus.

Here are some links to some of the mathematicians, computer scientists, scientists, and engineers that we will meet during the course:

• Leonhard Euler
• Carl Friedrich Gauss
• Brook Taylor
• Srinivasa Ramanujan
• Isaac Newton
• Cleve Moler
• Jack Dongarra

The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services and activities for people with disabilities. If you will need accommodations in the class, reasonable prior notice needs to be given to the Center for Disability Services, 162 Olpin Union Building, 581-5020 (V/TDD). CDS will work with you and the instructor to make arrangements for accommodations. All written information in this course can be made available in alternative format with prior notification to the Center for Disability Services.
