PREREQUISITE
Fundamental concepts of computational science are very useful to every
computer scientist and engineers. This subject prepares the student to
understand and utilize fundamental concepts of computational science such
as precision of numerical representation, error analysis, numerical
techniques, system dynamic models, the modeling process, computer
simulations, parallel and concurrent architectures for hight performance
computing and scientific applications. At the same time, students who take
courses have an opportunity to apply those techniques in a wide range of
application areas, such as: molecular and fluid dynamics, celestial mechanics,
economics, biology, geology, medicine, and social network analysis.

2. Choose an appropriate modeling approach and simulation technique for a
given problem or situation. (A3, C3, LL, CS)
3. Compare parallel and concurrent programming paradigms, recognizing the
strengths and weaknesses of each. (A3, CTPS3, P2)
Di akhir subjek ini, pelajar akan dapat :
1. Menerangkan konsep sains model pengiraan dan simulasi. (A3, C3)
2. Memiilih satu pendekatan pemodelan dan teknik simulasi yang sesuai bagi
masalah atau situasi yang diberikan. (A3, C3)
3. Membandingkan paradigma pengaturcaraan selari dan serentak, serta
mengenalpasti kekuatan dan kelemahan masing-masing. (A3, CTPS3, P2)
