Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D and C#
Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesVideo game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more "serious" applications that require interactive 3D graphics, from mobile apps, virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and artificial intelligence, and real-time CGI film production. Unity3D is […]

Web Scraping with Python
Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001AThis workshop will provide an overview of how to scrape data from html pages and website APIs using Python. This will mostly be accomplished using the requests, beautifulsoup, and retry modules with the browser developer tools. The workshop is intended for users with basic Python knowledge. Anaconda Python 3 will be used.
Introduction to NumPy (Python)
Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001AThis workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. Computers will be available to complete exercises.
Geometric Network Analysis
Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesThis workshop will cover GIS concepts and techniques for analyzing geometric networks embedded in geographical space. We will mainly focus on road network, but the ideas and techniques apply to similar network such as the water and electricity distribution networks and gas pipelines. We will use open source tools in R and QGIS. You should […]

Back to a Future: Asynchronous Computing with futures in R
Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001AAsynchronous computing is an umbrella term encompassing parallel and concurrent computational programs in which some tasks can be executed without a strict sequential order. A future is a programming abstraction for a value that may be available at some future point in time and allows. Like other forms of parallelism, futures are a powerful tool for writing programs that […]
Mediation Models: A demonstration using multiple packages
Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001AMediation models are commonly applied in a variety of modeling settings, and people will typically flock to tools specific to structural equation modeling like Mplus or Amos for analysis. However, not only are such tools not necessary for the more common implementations of mediation, they are often limiting and have various drawbacks. Fortunately there are […]
Introduction to Performance Analysis of Scientific Software
Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesWe all had this: "My program is too slow". We all have heard: "Use Fortran and C++, they are fast." But will it really help? We all have heard also: "Don't bother, use Python and R on a better computer", and "HPC clusters are fast". But what does "better" and "fast" even mean? In this […]
