CSI 801 / INFT 814:
Foundations of Computational Sciences

This course covers methods of investigation of scientific questions utilizing high-performance computation and communication. Mapping of mathematical models to parallel algorithm and architectures, associated data structures, languages, operating systems, networks, and visualization methods. Examples in bioinformatics, space science, physics, and global change will demonstrate important scientific accomplishments enabled by computation. Class projects will involve work in teams to learn the mathematical models, abstract algorithms, and concrete algorithms for these cases, and will conduct experiments and simulations with them.

A prerequisite for this course is a course in numerical methods, such as CSI 700.

This is a core course in the CSI PhD program.
