Core Science Courses

Every Scientific Computation student is expected to apply computational methods in a science discipline. The core science courses are intended to provide students with a foundation in their chosen discipline. They must be graduate-level (600-level or above) core courses from a discipline outside Mathematics and Computer Science. (The word ``science" should be considered an abbreviation for ``physical science, life sciences, engineering, business, and social science".) Core science courses for the Scientific Computation program should be selected with the advice from the relevant science departments, subject to the approval of the Study Advisory Committee. Students planning their programs should make sure the courses they choose are being taught regularly. The following are examples of courses that might be appropriate as core science courses:

Astronomy

Geology/Geophysics

Fluid Dynamics

Atmospheric Sciences

Physics
