Scientific Computing and Numerical Methods is a major offered through the Department of Physics and Astronomy in Western University's Faculty of Science. Entry to the module requires completion of first-year requirements with a minimum mark of 60% in designated calculus, physics and computer science courses, plus Mathematics 1600A/B, 1700A/B or Numerical and Mathematical Methods 1411A/B with a minimum mark of 55% by the end of Term 1 of second year. The module comprises 6.0 courses, combining Applied Mathematics 2814A/B, further calculus and applied-mathematics coursework, Physics 3926F/G, a statistics course, Computer Science 2210A/B or 2211A/B, and 1.5 courses drawn from upper-year applied mathematics, physics, chemistry or numerical-methods options. The programme is built around numerical and computational techniques applied across mathematics, physics and computing, giving students a cross-disciplinary grounding in scientific computation and numerical modelling.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Completion of first-year requirements including the following courses, each with a mark of at least 60%: 1.0 course from Calculus 1000A/B, Calculus 1500A/B or Numerical and Mathematical Methods 1412A/B (or the former Applied Mathematics 1412A/B), and 1.0 course from Calculus 1301A/B, Calculus 1501A/B (recommended) or Numerical and Mathematical Methods 1414A/B (or the former Applied Mathematics 1414A/B), or the former Applied Mathematics 1413; plus specified Physics and Computer Science courses and Mathematics 1700A/B, Mathematics 1600A/B or Numerical and Mathematical Methods 1411A/B with a minimum mark of 55% by the end of Term 1 in Year 2.
