This class uses revolutionary programmable interactivity to combine material from three fields – Computer Science + Mathematics + Applications – creating an engaging, efficient learning solution to prepare students to be sophisticated and intuitive thinkers, programmers, and solution providers for the modern interconnected online world.
Upon completion, students are well trained to be scientific “trilinguals,” seeing and experimenting with mathematics interactively as math is meant to be seen, and ready to participate and contribute to open source development of large projects and ecosystems.
Climate change is the topical focus for the final third of the course, looking at modeling of climate science phenomena and the dynamics of climate economics.
Instructors: Prof. Alan Edelman, Prof. David P. Sanders, Prof. Charles Leiserson
