Numerical Analysis - Scientific Computing Courses

MA 5310

Course Description: First semester of a three-semester computational methods series. Review of iterative solutions of linear and nonlinear systems of equations, polynomial interpolation/approximation, numerical integration and differentiation, and basic ideas of Monte Carlo methods. Comparison of numerical techniques for programming time and space requirements, as well as convergence and stability.

Prerequisites: Math 3310 and COSC 1010. Identical to COSC 5310, CHE 5140, ME 5140, and CE 5140. (3 hours).

 

MA 5490 - Parallel Computing I

Course Description: A one semester self contained course on parallel computing. Review of parallel architectures, hardware accelerators, programming paradigms, communications methods, applications, algorithms, how to buy or build a supercomputer, and how different scales of parallelism affect performance.

Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor.

 

MA 5490 - Parallel Computing II

Course Description: A second semester course on parallel computing. We will apply knowledge of parallel architectures, hardware accelerators, programming paradigms, communications methods, applications, algorithms, and how different scales of parallelism affect performance to design and implement an application in parallel on a tradition cluster and a nontraditional GP-GPU cluster.

Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor.
