Laboratory For Scientific Computation And Simulation

9350748杰克逊，这个项目的目标是将科学计算和模拟技术引入中央密歇根大学的本科课程。为此，正在创建一门以实验室为基础的课程，作为物理课程的一部分，并作为选修课提供给其他科学专业的学生。这门课程将作为课堂上的实验室教授，学生在课堂上进行模拟实验，并与现场讲师讨论结果和任何困难。我们的团队教学方法，将一名物理学家和一名计算机科学家配对，强调合理的编程实践-模块化设计、适当的文档和程序效率-以及标准的数值和模拟技术。计算机模拟允许学生用传统分析方法无法处理的现实系统进行实验。本课程包括从不同的科学学科中挑选一些现实世界的问题，以说明和强调计算技术的力量和广泛的适用性。课堂实验的形式和学生背景的混合导致了富有成效的思想交流和对基础科学的统一性的更好的认识。***

9350748 Jackson The goal of this project is to introduce scientific computation and simulation techniques into the undergraduate curriculum at Central Michigan University. To this end, a laboratory-based course is being created as a part of the Physics curriculum and offered as an elective to students in the other sciences. The course will be taught as an in-class lab, where the students run simulation experiments in the class and discuss the results, as well as any difficulties, with the instructors on the spot. Our team-teaching approach, pairing a Physicist and a Computer Scientist, stresses sound programming practices - modular design, proper documentation and program efficiency - as well as standard numerical and simulation techniques. Computer simulations allow the students to experiment with realistic systems which cannot be handled by traditional analytical methods. The course includes a selection of real-world problems from various scientific disciplines to illustrate and emphasize the power and broad applicability of the computational techniques. The in-class lab format and mix of student backgrounds lead to a productive exchange of ideas and a better awareness of the unity of the underlying science. ***
