<div class="contentbox">
<div>The incoming graduate student virtual bootcamp will provide students the tools and techniques in
computing, statistics, and scholarship that are rarely taught formally and/or systematically in an
undergraduate setting. The primary goals
of the bootcamp are:
<ul>
<li>Introduce the fundamentals of computing, research skills and practices, and coding for
astronomical research</li>
<li>Introduce the fundamentals of descriptive statistics for astronomical research</li>
<li>Develop familiarity with the most commonly used tools, procedures, and packages within
Python and R</li>
<li>Develop an efficient, systematic, and reproduceable coding and debugging workflow</li>
<li>Create a community of knowledge-sharing amongst the incoming graduate class</li>
</ul>
The five bootcamp sessions will be held in person Zoom during September 2022. The sessions will
involve both instructor-led demonstrations and guided workbooks. The bootcamp will be strongly
encouraged for all incoming grad students, as
well as open to all upper year grad students.
</div>
<div>
<h2>Bootcamp Expectations</h2>
This will be an interactive course, and there will be interactive demos and problems that we intend
to be completed collectively during the scheduled hours. We expect full participation of all
attendees.
