For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course explores the basic concepts of computer modeling and simulation in science and engineering. We'll use techniques and software for simulation, data analysis and visualization. Continuum, mesoscale, atomistic and quantum methods are used to study fundamental and applied problems in physics, chemistry, materials science, mechanics, engineering, and biology. Examples drawn from the disciplines above are used to understand or characterize complex structures and materials, and complement experimental observations.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-021JSpring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBuehler, MarkusThonhauser, TimoRadovitzky, Raul2009-07-13T02:57:44-04:003.021J22.00J18.361J10.333J1.021Jen-USChemical EngineeringIndustrial EngineeringEducational Evaluation and ResearchApplied Mathematicsfinite elementFEMstructural mechanicsgasmeltingevolutionfractalheatfluid dynamicsapplied mathematicsbiologymaterials sciencemechanicschemistrycomputational physicscontinuum methodmesoscaleMonte Carlomolecular dynamicschemicalquantum methodquantumvisualizationdata analysisstatistical samplingcontinuum fieldcontinuumdiscrete particle systemcomputer modelingNuclear Science and EngineeringMathematicsMaterials Science and EngineeringCivil and Environmental EngineeringMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
