Modern Computational Science

Scientific Computing (or Computational Science) is often called the third pillar of science besides theory and experiment. The growing importance of computational methods in many areas of science and engineering is exemplified by the appearance of new disciplines like Computational Physics, Computational Chemistry, Bioinformatics, and many others. Moreover, Computational Science is, almost by definition, an interdisciplinary field, and thus provides a unique opportunity to bring together scientists working in areas that would otherwise be considered as diverse.

This Summer School is intended for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students of biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics who

* would like to get a thorough introduction to some of the basic methods and tools of Scientific Computing (algorithms, software engineering, data analysis, ordinary and partial differential equations, simulations),
* are interested in the application of computational methods to current research problems in pure and applied science, and
* wish to acquire a working knowledge of the material presented in the lectures by attending supplementary exercises at the computer.

The School is also open to applicants from industry. All participants should have at least a little experience with one higher programming language, like C/C++ or Fortran.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
