FRSEM-UA 207 - Computer Simulation

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

A hands-on course in which students learn how to program computers to simulate physical and biological processes. The course meets alternately in classroom and computer laboratory settings. The techniques needed to perform such simulations are taught in class and then applied in the laboratory by the students themselves, who work individually or in teams on computing projects and report on these projects to the group as a whole. Students learn how to make the computer generate graphics, movies, and sounds as needed for presentation of the results of the different simulations. Examples emphasized in class include the orbits of planets, moons, comets, and spacecraft; the spread of diseases in a population; the production of sound by musical instruments; and the electrical activity of nerves. Students may draw their projects from this list or choose other projects according to individual interests.
