Hi, just a little evangelism, I've just been looking at a free wavelet toolbox for Matlab called WaveMat, and its webpage has an interesting blurb about the importance of open source in the sciences:
http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~wavelab/Wavelab_850/index_wavelab850.html "Philosophy--why do it? WaveLab implements the concept of reproducible research. The idea is: /An article about computational science in a scientific publication is *not* the scholarship itself, it is merely *advertising* of the scholarship. The actual scholarship is the complete software development environment and the complete set of instructions which generated the figures./ We make WaveLab available to make the full content of our scholarship available, enabling others to understand and reproduce our work." "WaveLab and Reproducible Research" Jonathan B. Buckheit and David L. Donoho, Stanford University http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~wavelab/Wavelab_850/wavelab.pdf sumthin to think about. now back to your regularly scheduled GRASSing, Hamish _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
