Introduction
This course provides an introduction to scientific computing for students
without previous quantitative and computing training. Students will learn
elements of a Unix operating system, the basics of a procedural language
(such as C) and a scripting language (such as Perl), and aspects of a high-level
mathematical program such as Maple. These computing skills will be
developed as students learn essential features of scientific computing
as implemented in the earth and life sciences.
