New Delhi, Jan. 8 -- IIT Kanpur invites applications for Free Online Course on Computational Science via NPTEL. The Computational Science in Engineering is a rapidly evolving field that exploits the power of computation as an approach to major challenges on the frontiers of natural and social science and all engineering fields. Further, the primary focus lies on developing problem-solving methodologies and robust tools for numerical simulation.

The goal is to present the fundamentals of scientific computing, with shortcodes to implement the key concepts. This also includes a framework for applied mathematics such as Linear Algebra, ODEs and PDEs. To understand phenomena and processes from science and engineering, these simulations requir...
