Scientific Computing (Minor)

This 15-credit minor will provide students with: 

  1. a solid programming background for running computer simulations, 
  2. a computing and modeling course for learning how to develop mathematical models, 
  3. a foundational methods course for learning how to analyze the stability and accuracy of computer simulations, and
  4. an elective course to explore additional topics or applications of scientific computing.
