Simulation and modeling of natural processes

This course gives you an introduction to modeling methods and simulation tools for a wide range of natural phenomena. The different methodologies that will be presented here can be applied to very wide range of topics such as fluid motion, stellar dynamics, population evolution, ... This course does not intend to go deeply into any numerical method or process and does not provide any recipe for the resolution of a particular problem. It is rather a basic guideline towards different methodologies that can be applied to solve any kind of problem and help you pick the one best suited for you. The assignments of this course will be made as practical as possible in order to allow you to actually create from scratch short programs that will solve simple problems. Although programming will be used extensively in this course we do not require any advanced programming experience in order to complete it.

What people are saying

recommend this course

I recommend this course to anyone who is proficient in programming and just needs a logical guide to help build efficient simulation models.

I would recommend this course for those who want to gain a non-trivial introductory insight into this subject and also who want to look into doing object oriented programming for simulations.

very well

Content is great, it can be made better though, The first 6 weeks of the course very well done.

This course is very well designed!

think it

Although building the code from scratch is a bit hard, I still think it's a really crucial step.

I think it is a perfect introduction to Computer modeling of natural processes.

very good

Overall, it is a very good class in which one gets a broad overview of modeling and simulation of processes.

A very good coverage of the range of computational modelling techniques available.
