calling all scientists
Dec 1st, 2008, 10:21pm
 
hello,
This is an invitation for other folks using Processing as a tool in natural-science research to introduce themselves on this thread so we can get an informal user group started.

I'm an oceanographic modeler in Seattle, and I'm increasingly using Processing both for making interactive teaching/collaboration tools and also for cranking through numerically intensive model computations. (A few of the interactive projects are on my website below; the intensive stuff hasn't made it to the web yet.) I've met a couple of other scientists with similar goals and technical problems--I'm hoping to find a minimum-effort way to assemble a list of scientific users for discussion, problem-solving, code-sharing, etc. So say hello below if you're interested, and we'll go from there!

cheers,
Neil

I use Processing as a prototyping tool for interactive Bioinformatics data visualization.

I use processing for some simple scientific visualizations.  I made a program that added two waves (to look at group speed, and other things like that) that impressed a class full of students.

I would like to know if there are any mathematical tools: a Runge-Kutta solver, tri-diagonal solvers, or things like that that can be used in Processing.  Any ideas?

I am using Processing for the (fun) visualization of large physical data sets.
@sw01: I wold be interested to have a look on that if it swirls through the web somewhere
