CSCI 477 - Computer Modeling and Simulation

3 credits (3 hrs Lec)

Covers various computational modeling and simulation principles and techniques applicable to various domains of engineering and science. The course will rely on the python programming language and use frameworks such as PySim to explore topics in discrete event simulation; such as Apache Mesa to explore agent-based modeling; and SciPy to explore topics in continuous time simulation. Students will implement and apply these methods, including model verification and validation, to basic examples. Other topics include matrix languages, ODE solving, PDE solving, finite difference approximation, finite element methods, and visualize data generated from computer simulations.

Prerequisite(s): CSCI 112 ,CSCI 117 , or CSCI 135 and M 273 and STAT 332 .
