• Covers mathematics and modeling skills required for a comprehensive understanding of materials science concepts and modeling them. Visualization techniques are covered to enhance communication of fundamental materials science concepts and research results. Presents a white variety of mathematical and computational techniques motivated by materials science examples, such as: structure, crystallography, continuum mechanics, quantum mechanics and solid-state physics, classical and and statistical thermodynamics, optical properties, fracture, defects, kinetics, and phase transformations. Instruction is given with symbolic mathematical software. Students may use software to complete assignments. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
