UTSI’s 2008 Computational Science Workshop
June 30-July 11, 2008
(no camp on July 4, 2008)
9:00am-4:00pm
 Fifteen
area students, entering the eighth and ninth grades the fall 2008, and three
teachers will have an opportunity to learn the technologies, techniques, and
tools of computational science during a two-week session at The University of
Tennessee Space Institute. The workshop will begin June 30 and will conclude
July 11 with a special presentation by the participants.
Computational science is the area of scientific research that
merges science, mathematics, and computing to produce computer models and
simulations that allow users to study complex and challenging scientific
behavior. In the workshop, students will learn how to use models, modify
existing models, and create models from scratch. Topics being studied include
computational astrophysics, meteorology, agriculture, genomics, epidemiology,
pharmacokinetics and drug design, 3D graphics, and computational chemistry.
Students will also have an opportunity to write their own sophisticated computer
programs, using languages such as gnuplot, perl, and NetLogo.
Space is limited so apply early!
