Instructors: Markus J Buehler, Michael J Demkowicz, Yun Liu

Lecture:  TR3-4.30  (4-153)
Recitation 1:  M4  (4-145)
Recitation 2:  F9  (4-149)
Office hour - Yun Liu:  T 10:30 - 11:30  (13-1143)  

Information: 

This subject provides an introduction to modeling and simulation (IM/S), covering continuum methods, atomistic and molecular simulation (e.g. molecular dynamics) as well as quantum mechanics. These tools play an increasingly important role in modern engineering.  You will get hands-on training in both the fundamentals and applications of these methods to key engineering problems. The lectures will provide an exposure to areas of application, based on the scientific exploitation of the power of computation.  We will use web based applets for simulations.

Extension for homework 1 and office hours

Dear modelers,

Due to the career fair, homework 1 will now be due at noon on Monday, Sept. 22, at noon.

Also, the votes are in and the best time for my office hour seems to be 1pm on Thursdays. Please feel free to come by my office at that time.

Best,
MJD

Welcome to Introduction to Modeling and Simulation (IM/S)

Dear All:

Welcome to Introduction to Modeling and Simulation (IM/S)!  We are excited and looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow afternoon: Our first class will be on Thursday at 3 pm in 4-153.  We will go over the logistics, the syllabus, review an outline of IM/S and cover some introductory material that will set the stage for the next couple of months.

So that you can plan ahead, there will be a recitation this Friday, and an "identical" recitation next Monday (you may choose to attend either session).  Please email any of us if you have any questions regarding any of the above.

Best regards,
Markus Buehler
