2. Scientific Computing Concentration
Kenyon College has a concentration in Scientific Computing

3. What is Scientific Computing at Kenyon?
The scientific computing concentration is an interdisciplinary program in the application of computers to scientific work.

4. Scientific Computing Concentration
computer program development, including the construction and implementation of data structures and algorithms
mathematical modeling of natural phenomena (including cognitive processes) using quantitative or symbolic computer techniques
analysis and visualization of complex data sets, functions, and other relationships using the computer
computer hardware issues, including the integration of computers with other laboratory apparatus for data acquisition

5. Scientific Computing Concentration
The Concentration requires a total of 3 units of Kenyon coursework
SCMP 118 Introduction to Programming or PHYS 270 Introduction to Computational Physics (.5 unit)
SCMP 401 Advanced Scientific Computing (.5 unit). Senior Capstone.
Four additional courses from across the sciences (over 25 to choose from) that include a significant computational component.

6. Computer Science at Kenyon
This past fall the a faculty study was completed on the creation of a full computer science major at Kenyon College. The recommendation presented to the board of trustees was for Kenyon to begin the process of developing the major, with an emphasis on an integration across the curriculum. In the meantime Kenyon has begun to expand the offerings in computer science….

7. Courses in Computer Science
Introduction to Computer Programming with C++
Data Structures and Program Design
Design and Analysis of Algorithms (new 2016)
Software Development (new 2017)
Software and Systems Design (new 2018)

8. Synoptic Major
At Kenyon many students design their own major, called a synoptic major.
Several students are currently using this option to pursue studies in the computer science area
A current example is: Computer Game Design
