MATH 4250 - Programming for Scientific Computation

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

This course introduces the essentials of scientific computer programming using appropriate high-level languages to solve problems in engineering and science. Programming topics include problem decomposition, control structures, recursion, arrays and other data structures, file I/O, graphics, code libraries, round-off error in floating point arithmetic. Applications will be drawn from numerical integration and differentiation, root finding, matrix operations, searching and sorting, simulation, and data analysis. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate proficiency in basic skills related to using MATLAB/Python in scientific computation setting. 2. Apply programming skills to solving challenging problems that are either purely mathematical or arise from other disciplines.
