Computing and Mathematics Across the Sciences
Denison - DePauw - Furman - Harvey Mudd - Middlebury - Rhodes - Scripps - Vassar
June 4 - 5, 2009 at Denison University
This workshop is sponsored by a Mellon Faculty Career Enhancement grant.
The central objective of the workshop is to develop a deeper understanding among science faculty members of the uses of mathematics and computer science in the natural sciences and an equally crucial appreciation among computer science faculty for work in the natural sciences and the broad utility of computer science across a significant portion of most undergraduate curricula. We are not solely interested in what computing skills our introductory computer science courses should provide for science students; we are interested in a broader view. We want to identify concepts that are important for students of both computer science and the natural sciences, encouraging a two-way exchange of these ideas.
