by Robert Thurman, Principal Computational Biologist, Seattle Genetics, Bothell, WA Computational biologists come in two types: those who were originally trained mathematically or computationally and then gravitated towards biological problems, and those who were formally trained on the biological side but couldn’t stay away from computers. That generalization is slightly dated, because many colleges now... Continue Reading →
Joyce C. Yang This summer, Codework Academy at Montgomery College had its first Java Web Development boot camp. The program was in Gaithersburg, MD and taught students how to write and deploy web applications in eight weeks. I participated in the boot camp, which was full-time, 9 am to 5 pm every day. Starting from... Continue Reading →

FULL NOTICE HERE Overview (from the site above) Do you want to help aerospace engineers solve problems faster? Does the phrase “nonlinear partial differential equations used for unsteady computations” excite you? Do you want to try yourself with the complex computational software that NASA scientists use? This might be the challenge for you. NASA’s Aeronautics... Continue Reading →
A study group is a type of workshop which brings together mathematicians and people from industry. The meetings typically last for 5 days, Monday-Friday. On the Monday morning the industry representatives present problems of current interest to an audience of applied mathematicians. Subsequently the mathematicians split into working groups to investigate the suggested topics. On... Continue Reading →
