Topics: According to the rather dry catalog description:
"This course presents fundamental issues of computer hardware,
software, parallel computing, and scientific data management
for programming for scientific computation."
Prerequisites:
AMSC/CMSC/MAPL 460, AMSC/CMSC/MAPL 466,
or knowledge of basic numerical analysis and some programming
experience.
This course does not count toward the MS or PhD
requirements for Computer Science majors.
It is meant to be "Computer Science for Scientific Computing".
This course is offered every two years.
Textbook:
Bryant and O'Hallaron
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
Programming language:
Matlab will be assumed as a common language.
Some assignments will require C, but detailed templates
and complete instructions will be given.
Grading:
Based on homework (including programming projects),
quizzes, and a final exam.
What really happens:
This course has three goals:
