Research Highlights
Introduction to Scientific Computing for Planners, Engineers, and Scientists
Liming Wang
Building on the successful scientific computing training program offered by the Software Carpentry (http://www.software-carpentry.org/), the proposed course exposes students in science, engineering, and planning to the best practices in scientific computing through hands-on lab sessions and aims to help students tackle the challenge of "drinking from a hose" when dealing with overwhelming amount of data that is increasingly common in these disciplines. Although computing is now an integral pa...
