The Scientific Computation course is available as an MSc, PG Diploma or PG Certificate. For details of the structure of these options please click here.

Aim of the Courses

To give an understanding of the processes through which good software is developed for applications in science and engineering and of the numerical methods involved in the computer solution of such problems.

Topics

The exact topics covered will depend on the particular modules chosen by the student. Each student must take the core module of

• Introduction to Numerical Methods

together with at least one of:

• Scientific Programming with Fortran 95
• Programming & Software Development in C

with the remainder chosen from:

• Computational Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations
• Computational Methods for Partial Differential Equations
• Computer Graphics
• High Performance & Parallel Computing
• Intelligent Systems
• Neural Networks
• Optimisation
• Software Engineering
• Statistical Analysis & Trials
