This class will demonstrate how to use MATLAB to create data visualization and animation for publications or presentations. We will discuss many plotting functions and techniques available in MATLAB and learn how to use these commands to handle and customize your graphics in practice. The materials include simple 2D/3D plots to present scalers and vectors, filled plots to handle continuously spatial data, geographic plots to deal with geographic information, animation to show variation in temporal data. Matplotlib used in Python will be also introduced so one can easily apply these plotting techniques in Python.
We will discuss using Markdown (a light-weight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax) for technical writing, including the support of LaTeX-style mathematics typesetting and bibliography. The approach can be applied to writing dissertation, research manuscripts, presentation slides, and web pages from the same set of source files. A number of documentation-building tools around the Markdown format will be introduced. We will also discuss using GitHub and Travis CI for version control and automatic building of documents and web pages.

This workshop will illustrate using the Julia language in data-driven modeling and computations. More detailed description will be posted here soon.
As machine learning gains more and more popularity in science and technology in recent years, scikit-learn becomes one of the must-have libraries in the general machine learning toolbox. In this lecture we will present an in-depth introduction to scikit-learn python library. Prerequisite knowledge for the workshop includes Python programming and basic machine learning concepts.
This workshop will discuss the basics of MPI (message passing interface), and several distributed-memory parallel numerical computing examples using MPI. The Julia language will be used in the examples. It would be straightforward to translate the Julia examples into other languages, such as C and Fortran, if desired.

The Julia language has a rich and fast-growing ecosystem in the form of open-source packages. We will cover the fundamentals of Julia's package management system, using either via the REPL (interactive command prompt) or the Pkg package, and show how to manage multiple sets of packages in the user environment. We will also discuss how to organize your Julia code into a package and share with others. Registration required.
This workshop series will present an extensive discussion on how to improve the performance of Python in data science by looking under the hood of its language/libraries and using the technologies to make Python a practical solution for the high-performance big data analytics. In the first session, we will focus on how to boost the speed of python code in an interperter level by explaining the concepts (e.g. GIL, GIT) and introducing the packages of pypy, numba, pythran, cython etc. Although no specific prerequisite is required to attend the talk, having programming experience in Python will be helpful to fully understand the lecture content.
