Course Description:
Corequisite: ITIS 1350L.
This course introduces the application of computational methods to
scientific exploration and discovery in the natural sciences. Examples
include modeling the spread of viruses, predator-prey relationship, the
carbon cycle, and fish schooling. Both theory and practice of
computational simulation and modeling techniques are examined as tools
to support the scientific method. No computer programming knowledge is
required. The course grade includes the studentŐs performance in ITIS
1350L. Must be taken concurrently with ITIS 1350L. The schedule of topics is
provided here.
