Antigravity324 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have 2 questions here. I am planning on going into Phd program doing something along the lines of scientific computing. I will graduate with an undergraduate in Computer Science and Math so I am wondering whether it would be better to go into an Applied Math program or a scientific computing specialization under a computer science department. In the end I would like to work in the area of scientific computing but my real passion is the math behind it (if that makes sense). Any suggestions? My second question is what schools have good scientific computing programs? When I was looking up some schools for computer science some of them didn't even have a program in Scientific computing. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noojens Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm not entirely sure what you mean by scientific computing. Do you mean algorithms for solving scientific problems? Because if so, such things are typically covered in the scientific fields themselves, e.g. by a computational physics groups within a physics department.

belowthree Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Look at HPC (High performance computing) or Parallel Computing Labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
