Coding for fun and profit

By the way: if you enjoy coding, I can probably find you an independent study in the department doing it for a real, live research project. Seriously - there are really not many students around who 1) enjoy coding, and 2) are any good at it. If you can answer yes to even one of those criteria, there is a job for you ...

In particular, the astronomers are always looking for someone, as are the condensed-matter theorists. The particle physicists also do a serious amount of numerical work, and could probably use your skills.

If you think you would be interested, let me know. You have the possibility of getting 400-level physics or astronomy credit during the semester, and actual cash during the summer. There is also no reason why it couldn't be a CBH project, that is not hard to arrange.

N.B. - Fortran is still in common use in physics, as are things like C/C++, python, etc.
