Parallel and Scientific Computing

This is mostly links to other sites with voluminous information about such things, although there are a coupled of fairly detailed links for the PVM and MPI packages.

Wavelets

Here are links to tutorial documents, software, research papers, and other things related to those nifty data analysis and numerical modeling tools called wavelets.

Nonlinear science (chaos, genetic algorithms, etc.)

There are some who consider the phrase "nonlinear science" to be redundant, but we'll restrict the usage here to those sites concerned with such sub-topics as chaos, genetic algorithms, neural nets, artificial life, and the like, i.e. all those sexy topics that make you the center of attention at dinner parties and rock concerts.

Numerical methods

The field of numerical methods and analysis is explored here with links to sites containing technical reports, tutorial documents, and lots and lots of software. Specific software packages and documents we consider (to use the technical phrase) really spiffy get separate mention and explanation.

Computing

This is pretty much a catch-all for computer-related stuff I can't fit in elsewhere. Mostly meta-sites and such.

Miscellaneous science

Fairly broad links (i.e. to other sites with meta-links) for such topics as astronomy, acoustics, signal processing, and whatever else seems interesting enough for exploration.

Text processing (TeX, etc.)

Here we concentrate on such software packages/systems as TeX, PostScript, SGML, etc. that facilitate turning our thoughts into nicely formatted words on the printed page.

Computer languages

Languages I've found useful and/or interesting. These include Fortran, Perl, C, Python and perhaps a few more.

Etext books

These are links to etexts (electronic books) on the Web. An etext, at least here, is anything from a flat ascii file containing the text of a non-virtual book to a tome written in authentic hypertext using all the extended capabilities of that medium.
