Mission
There is hardly an area of science or engineering that does not use
Computers for modeling. Some of the problems in these areas reduce to
systems of differential or linear equations. These systems can be solved
using numerical techniques which are more dependent on the system than the
domain of the problem. As these systems come in all “sizes and shapes”,
solving them stretches the available computer resources to their limits.
Advanced visualization techniques are necessary for understanding the
solution. Data mining relates to the extraction of information from large
Chemical or Biological databases. All this has led to development of
“Scientific Computing” as a discipline in its own right. Broadly the term
refers to the application of computational techniques to address problems in
the scientific domain.
Interdisciplinary School of Scientific Computing was founded in 1994 to
address the issue of training and research in the field of Scientific
Computing. It is a unique school of its kind in the country and one of the
few schools in the world. M.Sc. (Scientific Computing) programme attempts to
strike a balance between training in Sciences and Computer Science. It
emphasizes on fundamentals of a subject and prepares students to absorb
specific technologies when required. School has an interdisciplinary M.Phil.
and Ph.D. programme in Scientific Computing. Students from science and
related faculties (like Engineering, Medicine, etc.) willing to do
computational work can register for M.Phil. or Ph. D. degree.
