Hi I am the IT Manager at www.aims.ac.za in Cape Town, South Africa, where Marshall Hampton (biopython spkg) recently taught a course. We teach some of the best students across Africa in a 4th or 5th year postgraduate diploma preparing them for a masters in research. I have a little involvement in the academic programme, especially where open source scientific computing comes in.
The programme has three phases, "skills courses", "review courses", and "essay phase". Our skills phase include courses called "Mathematical problem solving", "Mathematical methods", and "Software development using python". They have similarities and overlap with William Stein's 480b course (below) which I noticed on sage-edu recently, http://wiki.wstein.org/09/480b The courses were historically based on scipy and maxima, and are now starting to include SAGE. The programme is divided into three-week slots with 30 contact hours, and a lot of practical computational work historically in scipy and maxima, now including more SAGE. The python course is increased to 6 weeks. There is some flexibility in the dates and topics of the first few courses mentioned above AIMS provides several tutors to assist lecturers in tutorials and grading and so on. If you are interested, please visit http://www.aims.ac.za/english/courseguidelines.php I'd be happy to answer any queries you have or give you more information if you were interested now or in the future. I am sometimes on #sage-devel as 'pipedream'. regards, Jan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
