Program and results

Program

• Start: Monday, October 10, at 13:00
• Finish: Friday, October 14, open ended
• Where: Lecture Hall III, building E2 5 (unless noted otherwise)
  • in addition, we reserved the “Zeichensaal” in the same building (except Tuesday + Thursday from 12-14)

This workshop aims at all levels of OSCAR users and developers. For beginners, there is an introductory crash course at the start. We also invited three experts to give accessible introduction to various topics. We then will try together to implement what they covered using OSCAR, during live hands-on session.

Please bring a laptop and follow the preparation instructions

Besides this, participants are also invited to work through Julia tutorials or OSCAR exercises, or to bring their own problems (e.g. from their research) and will try to provide support.

The program below may still be revised and we may even augment it during the week. If you have suggestions or wishes, please contact Claus Fieker and Max Horn.
