CIS 4220 - Physical Simulations

3 cr
This course combines numerical programming techniques with Newtonian physics and calculus to give the student an understanding of how physical systems can be simulated on a computer. Topics include the simulation of rigid bodies, soft bodies, fluids, and collision detection. This course emphasizes applications rather than mathematical theory and involves a significant amount of programming.

Prerequisite(s): CIS 2025, CIS 2262, or CIS 2271 with a C- or better; MAT 1531; PHY 1051
