Introduction to Scientific Computing (COMP 2190)

COMP 1010 Home > Back to Chapter Topics

Introduction Have you ever wondered how the special effects are generated in a movie? Movie graphic designers use graphic generation software which are developed based on Scientific Computing concepts to edit scenes in a movie. Scientific Computing involves creating mathematical solutions that uses computer to analyze and solve scientific and engineering problems. This course will introduce you to the concepts of numerical simulation processing and geometry computation which used primarily in graphic design.

...By Students A great addition to COMP 1010 knowledge. Here students would be taught more powerful tools for manipulating and storing data.

Prerequisites

Introductory Computer Science 2 (COMP 1020), Calculus (MATH 1500), Linear Algebra (MATH 1300)
