Scientific Computing - Bryn Mawr College

Scientific Computing from Bryn Mawr College is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. Many disciplines in the natural and social sciences include a significant sub-discipline that is explicitly computational . Examples include astronomy, biology, chemistry, economics, and physics. In some fields, such as biology, the use of computation has become so widespread that basic literacy in computation is increasingly important and may soon become required. The concentration in scientific computing gives students an opportunity to develop a basic facility with the tools and concepts involved in applying computation to a scientific problem, and to explore the specific computational aspects of their own major disciplines. Three of the six courses required for the concentration focus on general issues of computing (see Requirements A and B below): one is an introduction to computer science and programming, and the other two focus on the use of computation in a broad range of scientific disciplines. Students choose the remaining three courses from a list of electives, using at least two to connect their computational work with their major. Finally, the student must also complete a project-based experience, possibly during the completion of one of the courses. View more details on Bryn Mawr College .
