… I do think a recession is a great opportunity to brainstorm about volunteering ideas, community activities, start-up ideas, ways to improve cognitive thinking among the younger set and really step up the science game for ourselves and the future. If you can sort of understand what I'm saying and would be interested in solidifying this idea, I'd love to hear from you!

This is a users group for anyone interested in computational issues in science. All skill levels are welcome.

Math is the original liberal art, the first stop on any intellectual journey to understand a little more about the world. It's about trying to answer questions, not because they've been assigned out of some dusty textbook, but because the question itself is interesting and the attempt is more interesting still. It's about learning for the sake of learning, studying for the sake of studying. This group is about math for math's sake. The School of Mathematics was founded to cultivate a natural an …

We'll schedule meetups based on your ideas, so pick a paper you wanna read, plug it into ideas and let's get it started!

If you've ever visited Hacker News, you've almost certainly seen the "Show HN" or "Ask HN" posts. Well, it's time to get off the Internet and tell us about it face to face. We'll provide you with our honest feedback, you provide us with a great hack, or idea. We'll give you 5 minutes to show off your tool, hack, library (did you just write a library to access the Meetup API in Go!?), whatever. We're language and software/hardware agnostic, so it's all fair game. After you present, it's an open f …
