Course Development in Scientific Computation

主要研究人员计划在获奖期间开发三门课程。这些课程旨在通过计算机代数、数值分岔和偏微分方程使学生对科学计算方面产生兴趣。获得奖学金的学生将承担各种教育任务，如撰写清晰的课堂讲稿和作业解决方案、软件测试、维护和咨询。他们还将每周进行一次关于课程中应用软件使用的讲座和演示。这三门课程将通过每周一次的研讨会松散地协调起来，在研讨会上，主要研究人员和后来的学生将就共同感兴趣的话题发表演讲，并领导讨论。该奖项建议一次性为这项值得称赞的活动提供设备和学生支持，与高性能计算和通信金奖一致。

The principal investigators plan to develop three courses during the period of the award. The courses are designed to interest students in aspects of Scientific Computation through computer algebra, numerical bifurcation, and partial differential equations. The students holding fellowships will have various educational tasks, such as writing up clear lecture notes and assignment solutions, software testing, maintenance and consultation. They will also run a weekly tutorial for lectures and demonstrations concerning the use of software for applications in the courses. The three courses will be loosely coordinated through a weekly seminar, in which the principal investigators, and later the students, will give presentations on topics of common interest, and will lead discussion. The award recommendation is for a one-time contribution to equipment and student support for this laudable activity, consistent with the gold of High Performance Computing and Communications.
