Scientific Computing: Online course by Univ of Washington

Scientific Computing is a course to Investigate the flexibility and power of project-oriented computational analysis, and enhance communication of information by creating visual representations of scientific data.

About this course
This course is a survey of numerical solution techniques for ordinary and partial differential equations. Emphasis will be on the application of numerical schemes to practical problems in the engineering and physical sciences. Apply advanced MATLAB routines and toolboxes to solve problems. Review and practice graphical techniques for information presentation and learn to create visual illustrations of scientific results.

Prerequisites
To be successful in the course, a strong background in linear algebra is required. Familiarity with methods of ordinary differential equations and basic programming structure is also required. With this background, students should be able to develop the codes necessary for the homework in the course.
