Mathematics and Computational Thinking for Materials Scientists and Engineers I

4-0-8 units · Undergraduate

Computational techniques and applications of mathematics to prepare students for a materials science and engineering curriculum. Students study and apply computation/visualization and math techniques. They code and visualize topics from symmetry and structure of materials and thermodynamics. Topics include symmetry and geometric transformations using linear algebra, review of calculus of several variables, numerical solutions to differential equations, tensor transformations, eigensystems, quadratic forms, and random walks.
