1.00 Credits
The role of computation in prior and current biological research, both in large-scale genomics projects such as the human genome project and in basic biology and medical research. Introduction to programming possibly including scripting, CGI programming, dynamic programming, web protocols. Introduction to specific algorithms, tools, and resources for biological research including genome sequence alignment and database design and mining. Technical and social implications of genomics and genome studies made possible by advances in algorithms, computational methods, and computational models. For Focus Program students only
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction practices and principles of computer science and programming and their impact on and potential to change the world. Algorithmic, problem-solving, and programming techniques in domains such as art, data visualization, mathematics, natural and social sciences. Programming using high-level languages and design techniques emphasizing abstraction, encapsulation, and problem decomposition. Design, implementation, testing, and analysis of algorithms and programs. No previous programming experience required. Instructor: Astrachan, Duvall, Forbes, or Rodger
-
1.00 Credits
Theory, practice and epistemology of computing and simulation. Creation of artificial models of life, culture, and evolution for prediction and exploration. Social processes embedded in simulation. Hands-on introduction to C++ to create and modify highly visual, sims with color and sound. Critical exploration of state-of-the-art multicausal, multiagent simulations. Topics include: cellular automata and emergence; human and non-human agency; self-organizing cultures.
