Advanced Scientific Computing: producing better code

This course is taught as a 6-session "nanocourse" at Washington University in St. Louis. See the course summary for a general introduction.

Anyone following this should start with the setup instructions. Next, lectures (videos and presentation materials) and homeworks are linked in the schedule. Most of the learning will occur via the reading and homeworks; do not expect to get much out of this course if you don't do them.

All course videos will be hosted in my YouTube account in a dedicated playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-G47MxHVTewUm5ywggLvmbUCNOD2RbKA

Tip: if you have pandoc installed, you can build PDFs from the Markdown files using a script with contents

#! /bin/bash
pandoc -V colorlinks --highlight-style zenburn $1.md -o $1.pdf

Example: buildmd setup where the script above is called buildmd.
