Courses Related to Hierarchical Methods for Simulation

• 15-852A, 21-860: Scientific Computation, Gary Miller, Noel Walkington. Last taught Fall 1997. (more theoretical and finite-element-method-oriented than this course)
• 15-863: Physically Based Modeling, Andrew Witkin, David Baraff. Last taught Spring 1997. (a computer graphics course; also solves PDE's for interactive modeling and animation, but doesn't use hierarchical methods much)
• 15-862: Rendering, Paul Heckbert. Last taught Fall 1995. (Also a different incarnation as 15-860: Global Illumination in Fall 1996.) (a computer graphics course; solves integral equations to simulate light radiation, among other topics, uses hierarchical methods)
• 21-624: Topics in Analysis: Wavelets, Suzanne Tourville. (more mathematical than this course; focuses on wavelets for the real line, not as much on wavelets for finite domains or on applications)
• Algorithms in the Real World, Guy Blelloch, Gary Miller, Danny Sleator. (a survey course)
