Scientific Computing Concentration Kenyon College has a concentration in Scientific Computing
What is Scientific Computing at Kenyon? The scientific computing concentration is an interdisciplinary program in the application of computers to scientific work.
Scientific Computing Concentration computer program development, including the construction and implementation of data structures and algorithms mathematical modeling of natural phenomena (including cognitive processes) using quantitative or symbolic computer techniques analysis and visualization of complex data sets, functions, and other relationships using the computer computer hardware issues, including the integration of computers with other laboratory apparatus for data acquisition
Scientific Computing Concentration The Concentration requires a total of 3 units of Kenyon coursework SCMP 118 Introduction to Programming or PHYS 270 Introduction to Computational Physics (.5 unit) SCMP 401 Advanced Scientific Computing (.5 unit). Senior Capstone. Four additional courses from across the sciences (over 25 to choose from) that include a significant computational component.
Computer Science at Kenyon This past fall the a faculty study was completed on the creation of a full computer science major at Kenyon College. The recommendation presented to the board of trustees was for Kenyon to begin the process of developing the major, with an emphasis on an integration across the curriculum. In the meantime Kenyon has begun to expand the offerings in computer science….
