Introducing Computational Science Methods Using Parallax

We briefly describe the Clemson computational science and engineering course. We describe a parallax case study for studying floating-point computation. We outline our presentation of error analysis and a slight abstraction of IEEE arithmetic that we call Wilkinson arithmetic. The students are asked to determine how far parallax is usable given the parameters of the model. We provide one analysis of the problem and topical ideas for students.
