Aim:
The goal for this course is to provide the student with deep insights into methods for visualization of scientific data from experiments and simulations. The applicability of the various methods is shown through practical programming exercises. The knowledge gained is applicable in several existing and emerging applications in industry and the public sector, but can also form the foundation of research and development in scientific visualization both within academia and specialized companies.
Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:
- For a given data set choose an appropriate visualization method.
- Design and implement a visualization tool using the chosen. method and available software toolkits.
- Read and present the content in scientific papers in the field.
