<h2>Real-world problems</h2>

<p>We will take applications such as climate change and show how you can participate in the big open source community looking to find solutions to challenging problems with exposure to github and parallel computing.</p>
<p>You will learn mathematical ideas by immersion into the mathematical process, performing experiments, seeing the connections, and seeing just how much fun math can be.</p>
<p>Our course material is built using real code, and instead of a book, we have a series of interactive <em>notebooks</em>. <strong>On our website, you can play with sliders, buttons and images to interact with our simulations.</strong> You can even go further, and modify and run any code on our website!</p>
<p>In literature it’s not enough to just know the technicalities of grammar. In music it’s not enough to learn the scales. The goal is to communicate experiences and emotions. For a computer scientist, it’s not enough to write a working program, the program should be <strong>written with beautiful high level abstractions that speak to your audience</strong>. This class will show you how.</p>
<p class="twocols contain shadow">We believe many classes cover what we call the vertices — specific topics in computer science, math, or an application.
65
+
A student is left to figure out the edges, meaning the intellectual connections between the topics on their own as they mature.
66
+
Some classes have you learn a math topic and you can then for homework implement an algorithm or application. The goal
67
+
for this class, is to accelerate the process by which a student can participate in the exciting world of software development
68
+
be it the big open source universe or privately, by seeing how math with CS abstractions can allow for applications that can
69
+
be part of a big huge ecosystem rather than a one-off homework.
