COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCERule:

(i) No copy paste, use your own sentence.(ii) Remember about plagiarism?, It’s applied here as well.(iii) Each of you should have “unique” answers.

1. Explain the difference between computational science and computer science.

[10 M]

2. Discuss THREE (3) of the following statements about Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)

[30 M]

CSE is defined as a broad multi-disciplinary area that encompasses applications in science/engineering, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and computer science.

Most scientific disciplines appear to be benefiting from computer modelling, analysis, and visualization.

The growing volume of CSE techniques and associated software libraries represents a priceless wealth of tools and knowledge.

CSE tends to focus on a common tool set of subjects that have proven themselves useful in solving problems in a number of disciplines

CSE is now widely accepted, along with theory and experiment, as a crucial third mode of scientific investigation and engineering design.

For many students, study of computing together with an application area will be extremely useful.

Mastery of computational science tools, such as 3D visualization and computer simulation are now expected of university graduates, not necessarily computer science majors.

CSE holds great promise for solving many challenging problems facing humanity.

Most Science fields are becoming more computational. Computational simulation and experimentation with “what —if” scenarios not only allows the developers of a product to get more creative, but also saves time and money.

An increase in computer speed has enabled computational scientists and engineers to solve large-scale problems that were once thought intractable.

3. “Future jobs of a technical nature are and will be requiring new skills directly related to computational science. For graduates whose primary field of employment is one of the science and engineering fields, the most important skills are scientific and mathematical, and the ability to synthesize information.”Discuss about this in term of Malaysia future career perspective.

6. Explain one of application of calculus in real-life problem. [10 M]

7. Elaborate research findings (google ) which implement the following models:

i. Constrained Growthii. Unconstrained Growth

You should include your resource(s). Diagram and mathematical equation are helpful for your explanation.
