Scientific Visualisation
Syllabus
The syllabus contains more information on the aim and content of the course.
General motivation
The expression “a picture is worth a thousand words” refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single image. The expression is also valid in the scientific area and express what scientific visualization is about. When large and complex data sets are resulting from experiments and computations, visualisation is a way to give deeper insight and knowledge.
The course Scientific Visualisation deals with methods that offer a way to see the unseen. In the course, you will learn how to select appropriate methods for a given data set, possibilities and limitations with methods, and to use visualisation toolkits. The focus will be on using script programming in combination with VTK (the Visualization Toolkit) and this way creating great visualizations!
