Information

Increasingly, scientific research in many fields is driven by computational approaches to large datasets, but graduate students are often expected to pick up these essential computational skills on their own. To help address this, UW eScience is offering a fall quarter Python bootcamp and seminar, aimed at helping first-year graduate students in scientific domains brush-up on the types of tools that drive computational research.

This effort is a continuation of the Astro 599 and AMATH 500 seminar courses which were offered in 2013 and 2014; in 2015 we are dropping the course number and offering this content through a more informal weekly seminar. Materials for the 2015 topics can be found on our github page.

For more details, please see the Bootcamp Information and Seminar Information pages.

Sponsors

The seminar is sponsored by the UW eScience Institute, with generous funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Washington Research Foundation.
