Ph/CS/Mth 265 Introductory Scientific Computing
The main purpose of this course is to
introduce you to computer-based problem
solving. The course consists of two main
parts. The first part of the course
focuses on the problem solving with computing environment, Maple or Mathematica.
The second part of the course studies the compiler-based programming,
object-oriented formalism, and web computing using Java.
