September 10th\, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave. \;\n \;\n Speaker: Jonathan Leto \;\n Topic: Scientific Com puting with Math::GSL \;\n \;\nThis talk will be an introduction to doing scientific computing with \;\nPerl and Math::GSL. This mod ule provides access to functions from the \;\nGNU Scientific Library via Perl code. \;\n \;\nWhy would you want to do that? Using the Perl interpreter's easy and \;\nfast I/O\, string processing\, and managed memory reduces programming \;\ntime while GSL's optimized nu merical library (compiled C) gives you \;\naccess to a variety of ma thematical routines to do the heavy lifting. \;\n \;\n http://www .gnu.org/software/gsl/ \;\n http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-GSL/ 3\;\n \;\nYou do not need to know Perl or bring a lab coat. You shou ld bring your \;\nscientist friends (steal their lab coat?) and it h elps if you know how \;\nto program in some language (FORTRAN anyone ?)\, or something about math. \;\n \;\n \;\nAs always\, social hour at the Lucky Lab after the meeting.\n\nTags: perl\, pdxpm\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250455679 URL:http://pdx.pm.org/kwiki/ SUMMARY:Perl: Scientific Computing with Math::GSL LOCATION:Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
