NJIT: Features: BS in Computational Sciences - Proposed New Undergraduate Major for Fal... - 0 views

  • degree called Computational Sciences.  The degree will appeal to high school students who want to use high performance computing to solve scientific experiments -- experiments that are revolutionizing science.
  • Our major industries -- finance firms on Wall Street, pharmaceutical firms and telecommunications companies – all increasingly need and depend upon computational scientists. That is why NJIT decided to offer the degree. And for students who prefer academic research, this degree will prepare them for graduate study in applied math, engineering, quantitative biology and physics. Various options allow students to pursue computational science in the context of different fields.

Computational Science in the Mathematics Curriculum - 0 views

  • Computational science is the orphan of the sciences. Viewed as a collection of tools rather than as a discipline, it falls somewhere between Mathematics and Computer Science, usually fitting the self-image of neither discipline and therefore neglected. But it is of critical importance to many disciplines, among them Biology.
  • Biology is becoming much more mathematical, but this is not the mathematics that I was taught as an undergraduate. It is the mathematics of data analysis and modeling made possible by the computing power that is now available. It is rooted in computational science.
  • Most of these themes hold for all of the sciences as well as many of the social sciences.

  • “departments of mathematical sciences can and > should play a central role in their institutions’ undergraduate programs” > [3] > . > Such a role requires that our departments support computational science and find ways of engaging it in our curricula.
  • We are a joint department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and so the proper home for computational science is not at issue. Our first course in computational science, Introduction to Scientific Programming, is listed as Computer Science but is required of Mathematics majors. The mathematics curriculum has begun to draw on computational science to enrich and motivate its material, especially in calculus and statistics. It is not yet clear how far we will go in incorporating computational science into mathematics. It is not clear how far we should go. But we do recognize that if we are to live up to the vision of a Mathematics department that plays a central role in the undergraduate programs of our institution, then the role of computational science is something that we need to consider very seriously.

  • too many science and engineering graduates do not have strong enough backgrounds in computation to take advantage of these recent developments, while many computer science graduates do not have the background in mathematics and science needed for technical fields.

Faculty of Science: Computational Science - 0 views

  • Each student major in computational science from the outset should decide which other science discipline he or she wish to take besides the computational science proper. The choice at the moment is chemistry, physics, or mathematics. Computational science with biology is not available, but we may introduce it in the future.

Developing Computational Science Curriculum using the World Wide Web - 0 views

  • Two new courses also involve substantive use of the World Wide Web in teaching the material of the course and in developing web tools which can be used to develop the course materials and their hypertext environment.

Introduction to Computational Science - 0 views

  • much scientific investigation now involves computing as well as theory and experiment.  However, limited educational materials exist.  Introduction to Computational Science: Modeling and Simulation for the Sciences fills this void with a flexible, readable textbook that assumes only a background in high school algebra and enables instructors to follow several pathways through the material.
