1. Computational Science and Engineering
Master of Science @ TUM
In today’s research and development, the validation
of theoretical models is being replaced by
simulations of increasing complexity. This process
requires a detailed knowledge of efficient numerical
methods, visualisation techniques, and data
analysis. These tools are crucial for the
implementation and assessment of sophisticated
mathematical models.
Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) is a
multidisciplinary field that comprises computer-
based modeling, simulation, and data exploration
for the study of scientific phenomena and
engineering applications.
