Greetings from "An introduction to computational methods for economics and finance", at the Australian National University's Research School of Economics (CBE). This features Nobel Laureate Professor Thomas J. Sargent, of New York University and Professor John Stachurski, ANU. This is something of a masterclass in how to deliver modern classroom based teaching. Along with celebrity speakers, there are hands on exercises using an online code library, and an emphasis on real world applications. This format appeals to students, as indicated by good attendance, despite this being "O" week, with many fun attractions available to students.
As someone trained in FORTRAN it was good to hear it mentioned, in between much Python. ;-)
