Course description
This course is designed to build understanding of programming, software architecture, and general software development in the context of mathematical, numerical, symbolic, simulation and data science applications. Students will learn the basic elements of software development in the context of mathematics using a scientific programming language like the Julia language, and also using tools such as git, Unix, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). The course teaches students to implement algorithms from numerical mathematics, symbolic mathematics, simulation, and data analysis, all using solid software development practices that allow for organised maintainable and extendable software.
MATH2504 and MATH7504 are co-badged courses and will share learning activities. MATH7504 will have some differences in assessment to evaluate students at Level 9 (Masters) of the Australian Qualifications Framework.
