Learn mode­ling and simu­la­tion

The Extension Programme Scientific Computing (EPSC) is back for its second year. How to prepare for the third pillar of science - let's call it computing or simulation? How to keep up with the ever-evolving computational tools relevant to one's field of studies? This winter term, the Extension Programme Scientific Computing (EPSC) is back for its second year, offering 7 lectures on how to approach these challenges for modern scientists and professionals. From physics to medicine, from the analysis of historical manuscripts to genome sequencing, modern science relies on the methods, techniques, and tools of scientific computing. The same is true for a growing number of professions and even political and social decision making, just think of the importance of computer modelling in predicting and combating climate change. The Extension Programme Scientific Computing (EPSC) offers a carefully orchestrated set of lectures: starting with the basics of scientific computing - modelling and numerics - through spotlights on modern software development for scientists and cutting-edge tools, to the implementation of high-performance computational programmes on specialized hardware. Available this winter term: Introduction to Scientific Computing and Gender Competence (VO2, 2 ECTS-AP, LV 198701) Get an overview of what scientific computing (and this extension program) is all about. A brief introduction and application examples from experts in various fields.
