This is a first course in scientific computing; therefore, no previous programming experience is required. It is necessary to have some facility with mathematics (e.g., college-level algebra). It also is useful to have taken at least one introductory course in geographic or environmental science. In this class, we will learn how to use software to create scientific graphics, to perform mathematical calculations, and to analyze scientific data. The logic and scientific approach is emphasized, allowing the skills learned to be used in a wide range of application areas. Examples and exercises are oriented towards practical applications and research in the geographic and environmental sciences. In all cases, we learn the basics plus how to use available documentation and internet resources to learn more advanced skills.
