Laboratory For Scientific Computation And Simulation

9350748杰克逊 该项目的目标是将科学计算和模拟技术引入中密歇根大学的本科课程。 为此，正在开设一门实验室课程，作为物理课程的一部分，并作为选修课提供给其他科学的学生。 本课程将作为课堂实验室进行教学，学生在课堂上进行模拟实验，并与现场教师讨论结果以及任何困难。 我们的团队教学方法，配对物理学家和计算机科学家，强调良好的编程实践-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。该课程包括从各种科学学科中选择的现实世界问题，以说明和强调计算技术的力量和广泛的适用性。课堂实验室的形式和学生背景的混合导致了思想的富有成效的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. ***
