Intro to Linux Command Line

Working with many of the HPC systems (like those at SciNet) involves using the Linux/UNIX command line. This provides a very powerful interface, but it can be quite daunting for the uninitiated. In this half-day session, you can become initiated with this course which will cover basic commands. It could be a great boon for your productivity.Format: Virtual

MSC1090 lecture 3

The goal of this course is to prepare graduate students to perform scientific data analysis using the R programming language.  Successful students will learn how to use statistical inference and machine-learning tools to gain insight into data sets, as well as be introduced to techniques and best practises for storing, managing and analyzing data.  Topics will include: R programming, version control, modular programming, coding best practices, data analysis, machine learning and scientific visualization.
Classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00-10:30am, in SS1085.
Students willing to take the course as part of their graduate program must enrol through Acorn.  This course is part of the IMS graduate program.
