A three-day workshop on LaTeX and Scilab will be held at UC College, Aluva from 25 February 2010. The workshop is jointly organised by IIT Bombay, SPACE, Thiruvananthapuram and Bhaskaracharya Prathisthana Institute, Pune.
The workshop will consist of lectures and hands-on sessions in LaTeX and Scilab. LaTeX is a document preparation system that can produce good-looking documents without much difficulty, especially technical documents that contain equations. Its popularity is increasing in Kerala, and it is now part of the Mathematics curriculum of Calicut University.
Scilab is a software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications. Scilab includes hundreds of mathematical functions with the possibility to add programs interactively from various languages such as C, C++ and Fortran.
Registration is limited to the first 75 participants. For more details go to http://c11.space-kerala.org/fsc/?q=node/8
