    Frequently Asked Questions about Scientific Computing

    Scientific computing is the high-powered, research-focused application of computing theories and methodologies to solve scientific problems. Another way to view scientific computing is that it is the intersection point between computer science, numerical mathematics, and modeling. In scientific computing, there are a variety of tools, techniques, and theories used to analyze science, engineering, and mathematical computer models of problems. This field of study is also known as computational science. With either definition, it is an area of science that encompasses many different disciplines while using advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve problems with natural systems.‎

    Scientific computing is valuable to learn as many of the concepts explored in this area deal with futuristic ways to use computers. One of these ways is due to the increased power of supercomputers in recent years. As a result, it has become easier for computer scientists to use scientific computing to create complex simulations that were previously unimaginable, such as particle physics. Someone who has learned computing through networking, computer hardware, programming, databases, or algorithms could have the right mix of skills and insights to learn scientific computing‎

    Typical career opportunities that can arise from learning scientific computing include working as a data scientist, cloud operations specialist, scientific programmer/modeler, data engineer, or DevOps engineer. Additional roles are in data acquisition, ingestion, and research integration as a computational scientist. Other roles involve creating user interfaces and back-end services to automate the scientific output of multi-institutional science research projects.‎

    When you take online courses about scientific computing, you can learn the fundamentals of science research and the mathematical methodologies involved in this scientific approach. You may also be exposed to data analysis as it relates to mathematical modeling, along with related knowledge originally developed within mathematics. Today, this set of mathematical techniques and theories is a major part of scientific computing known as numerical analysis. Taking online courses can help you learn more about these data-rich fields, as well as newer, advanced technologies like Databricks and Apache Spark that scientific computing experts use in large research projects.‎

    Online Scientific Computing courses offer a convenient and flexible way to enhance your knowledge or learn new Scientific Computing skills. Choose from a wide range of Scientific Computing courses offered by top universities and industry leaders tailored to various skill levels.‎

    When looking to enhance your workforce's skills in Scientific Computing, it's crucial to select a course that aligns with their current abilities and learning objectives. Our Skills Dashboard is an invaluable tool for identifying skill gaps and choosing the most appropriate course for effective upskilling.
