Practicalities

When working on the projects, we recommend strongly that you form teams of two to three participants. You must have a github account where we can monitor your progress and give you appropriate feedback.

Furthermore, when setting up your git repository for a given numerical project, you should create a folder where selected benchmarks are placed. These benchmarks could represent a calculation with specific input parameters. This makes your work reproducible, and allows us to see that your programs reproduce selected benchmarks. Furthermore, developing a habit of producing benchmarks, allows you to keep track of the results produced by different versions of your codes.

If you have not used version control before now, it is thus time to do so. Proper version control is central to a good ethical scientific conduct. We do require that you use some kind of version control software when working on the projects. We recommend strongly github.
