Computational science involves the synthesis of data structures,
algorithms, numerical analysis, programming methodologies, simulation,
visualization, data analysis, and performance optimization, all
applied to the study of complex problems in science and engineering.
CIS 629/Physics 682 is a graduate computational science laboratory
course, emphasizing hands-on programming to address a number of
interesting problems arising in physics, biology, engineering, applied
mathematics, and computer science. The course is largely self-paced,
allowing students to choose from among a variety of topics, and
explore new problems of particular interest.
Scientific Topics
Course modules are drawn from a number of different fields, reflecting
the course's role as a core element in the curriculum of Cornell's IGERT Program in Nonlinear Systems,
which is organized broadly around the themes of complex networks,
biolocomotion and manipulation, gene regulation, and pattern formation.
Modules are designed to expose students to techniques and methods from a
variety of disciplines, not normally encompassed in a single course.
