The interdisciplinary field of computational science combines simulation, visualization, mathematical modeling, programming, data structures, networking, database design, symbolic computation, and high performance computing with various scientific disciplines. Despite the shortage of computational scientists, few programs and computational science textbooks appropriate for undergraduates exist. After extensive discussions on enhancing computer use in the sciences, Wofford College faculty members designed a curriculum for students majoring in science or mathematics, called "Emphasis in Computational Science." A student electing this program completes a Bachelor of Science, three existing courses (Programming in C++, Data Structures, Calculus I), two new computational science courses (Scientific Programming, Data and Visualization), and a summer internship. Application rich course modules that have been developed in collaboration with scientists are employed as the textbooks for the computational science courses. Available through the world wide web, these modules can instruct and provide applications for a variety of courses [4].
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 7 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
