CSC587: Computational Science of Simulation and Modeling

Course Description:
A study of the behavior of complex systems by simulation of mathematical models on digital computers. Modeling techniques for discrete-event and continuous systems, deterministic and stochastic, will be introduced through projects which involve student-written programs both in higher level programming languages and languages designed for the purpose of simulation. Particular emphasis is given to the application of these techniques to ongoing research in the field of computer science. Scheduled fall semesters of odd years.

Prerequisites:
CSC 153, MAT 151, MAT 221, and MAT 372 or equivalent courses.

Credits: 3

Semester Available: Sp’10, Fa'11 Sp'13, Fa'14
