This is the course website for “Scientific Computing for Biologists” at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Drs. Charlotte Chang, Lou Gross, and Nikhil Deshmukh are the course instructors.

Our in-class exercises will consist of a mixture of lectures and interactive programming sessions using R and python. QUBESHub will provide RStudio and jupyter support through their servers for the course exercises. Participants are more than welcome to work on the exercises locally, but using QUBESHub permits everyone to be engaged even if their local machine does not have the necessary languages and packages installed.

Each of the tabs on this website corresponds to exercises or lectures that we will be covering in the class.
