Abstract

The course will be organized around a series of "computational challenges" which will require an understanding of a broad range of computational topics in order to successfully tackle them.

Objective

To improve the knowledge base of all MSc and PhD students in Computational Science. This knowledge will also prepare the PhD students for questions during their eventual closed session exam, but in general will improve the performance of all students faced with computational questions during talks/conferences.
