MCS 504 - Mathematics and Information Science for Industry (MISI) Workshop: SECTION CLOSED
|
| Instructor: R. Grossman |
| Text: None; selected articles will be used. |
| Offered: Fall Semester, 1998 |
| Course Description: This course is centered around one or more "industrial" problems. The goal of the course is to provide an opportunity for students to use mathematics and information sciences to work on problems arising from industrial applications. The course will cover: mathematical modeling, problem formulation, problem analysis, problem solution, developing software to implement the solution, validating the software, analyzing the results, documenting the problem and its solution, techniques for effectively working in groups, software engineering, and effectively communicating technical material. |
| Comments: The course may be repeated for credit. |
| Prerequisites: Prior course work in data structures and algorithms and C/C++ programming. |
|
MCS 572 - Supercomputing: SECTION OPEN

| Offered: Fall Semester, 1998 |
| Course Description: (Bulletin) Introduction to supercomputing on vector and parallel processors; architectural comparisons, parallel algorithms, vectorization techniques, parallelization techniques, actual implementation on real machines. |
| Comments: Expect Hands-on use of National Center for Supercomputing Applications Cray Origin 2000 and UIC Convex SPP1200, depending upon availability. |
| Prerequisites: MCS 471 Numerical Analysis or MCS 571 Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations or consent of the instructor. |
