September 10th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave.</p> <p> Speaker: Jonathan Leto Topic: Scientific Computing with Math::GSL</p> <p>This talk will be an introduction to doing scientific computing with Perl and Math::GSL. This module provides access to functions from the GNU Scientific Library via Perl code.</p> <p>Why would you want to do that? Using the Perl interpreter's easy and fast I/O, string processing, and managed memory reduces programming time while GSL's optimized numerical library (compiled C) gives you access to a variety of mathematical routines to do the heavy lifting.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/">http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/</a> <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-GSL/">http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-GSL/</a></p> <p>You do not need to know Perl or bring a lab coat. You should bring your scientist friends (steal their lab coat?) and it helps if you know how to program in some language (FORTRAN anyone?), or something about math.</p> <p>As always, social hour at the Lucky Lab after the meeting.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdx.pm.org/kwiki/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
