About the Course

This course gives you an introduction to modeling methods and simulation tools for a wide range of natural phenomena. The different methodologies that will be presented here can be applied to very wide range of topics such as fluid motion, stellar dynamics, population evolution, ... This course does not intend to go deeply into any numerical method or process and does not provide any recipe for the resolution of a particular problem. It is rather a basic guideline towards different methodologies that can be applied to solve any kind of problem and help you pick the one best suited for you. The assignments of this course will be made as practical as possible in order to allow you to actually create from scratch short programs that will solve simple problems. Although programming will be used extensively in this course we do not require any advanced programming experience in order to complete it....

The Course is an excellent soft introduction to simulation methods and gives a soft landing to the world of computation. I recommend this course to anyone who is proficient in programming and just needs a logical guide to help build efficient simulation models.

This is a very nice course designed smartly and covering a variety of deterministic and stochastic models. The quizzes have been designed in a way that one has to have a good understanding of the course content as well as Python programming in order to pass.

En general me gusto mucho el curso, aprendí bastante y pude correr una gran cantidad de simulaciones, buenos recursos aplicables.

Los últimos dos módulos necesitan un poco más de explicación como de la revisión de las preguntas de los exámenes.

While the course is only an introduction to the world of Simulation and Modelling, it manages to introduce just enough components to intrigue the learner and spring a curiosity to learn further on their own accord.

Great content and lots of examples. However, some assignments and quizzes need to be updated, as well as instructions and feedback for wrong answers.

The first 6 weeks of the course very well done. Unfortunately, the last two weeks were not of the same quality as the remaining parts of the course.

The course was nice and informative. Easily presented. But the last two weeks were difficult to grasp and not well delivered.

This was course was useful in introducing several numerical modelling concepts, most of which I had no experience with. It also provided useful existing models for many of the concepts. The downside is that the course involves very little coding to complete with the majority of assessments based on making relatively small modifications to the provided models.

This course introduce some concepts and practice, it is good of this. But it is necessary to add more details in slide. Every numerical scheme in this course is not simple, so it should be better more details for reference.

I think the coding that we learnt in the course did not equip us enough to attempt the projects.Otherwise,an informative course!

The material is very interesting and well presented but the assignments are quite lacking IMO - esp. with respect to feedback.
