Nanotech Rice REU
Fwd: Fwd:
Dear Community College Faculty,
We are contacting you from the Rice Office of STEM Engagement (www.rstem.rice.edu) at Rice University to invite all your science, math, and engineering students from Lone Star College to attend an informational open house on the Rice Campus on Wednesday, February 24th, 2016 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. At the Open House, they will receive information about participating in the Summer 2016 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Nanotechnology at Rice. This will be an opportunity for students to ask questions regarding the program to our staff and previous REU participants. Food and parking validations will be provided.
We encourage your students to have filled out their application for the REU programhttp://www.rstem.rice.edu/reu prior to attending this informational session, but we will also have staff available to assist them with the application process that day in case it is needed.
Please ask your students to register at http://www.rstem.rice.edu/events or via http://goo.gl/forms/IXMvXIHI1Gby Tuesday, February 23rd, 2016 to attend this event so that we can provide them with parking and room information, and to ensure we have enough food for everyone!
We appreciate your help in disseminating this information to all your STEM students. If you have any questions please contact Gabriela Galvan, our Program Manager, at ggalvan@rice.edu
We are looking forward to seeing as many of your students there!
Best wishes,
Carolina

Wolfram
Technologies in Education and Research
by Brenda Marshall
Friday, March 4th
Noon-1:00 pm, including Q&A
LIB 225
This talk illustrates capabilities in Mathematica 10 and other Wolfram technologies that are directly applicable for use in teaching and research on campus. Topics of these technical talks include:
·
Enter calculations in everyday
English, or using the flexible Wolfram Language
·
Visualize data, functions,
surfaces, and more in 2D or 3D
·
Store and share documents locally
or in the Wolfram Cloud
·
Use the Predictive Interface to
get suggestions for the next useful calculation or function options
·
Access trillions of bits of
on-demand data
·
Use semantic import to enrich
your data using Wolfram curated data
·
Easily turn static examples into
mouse-driven, dynamic applications
·
Access 10,000 free course-ready
applications
·
Utilize the Wolfram Language's
wide scope of built-in functions, or create your own
·
Get deep support for specialized
areas including machine learning, time series, image processing,
parallelization, and control systems, with no add-ons required
If
you haven't seen Mathematica lately, you will be surprised to see how suitable
Mathematica is for projects and course examples in any STEM, business and
economics, or liberal arts field. Attendees with no prior experience report
that this talk helps with getting started using Mathematica language and
workflow. With improvements like the new
free-form input and expanded areas like
finance, statistics, engineering, software development, and image processing, even the most advanced
users report learning quite a bit from Mathematica technical talks. All
attendees will receive an electronic copy of the examples, which can be adapted
to individual projects. I’ll also provide a free trial download.
Current users will benefit from seeing the many
improvements and new features of Mathematica 10 (http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-10/),
but prior knowledge of Mathematica is not required.
