Foil 6 Caltech Computational Science Program

From Computational Science Overview May 1195 Presentation at Illinois Computational Science Seminar -- May 5,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 I graduated many excellent students at PhD level with a computational science training and typically a Physics PhD. Also "retrained" several "staff scientists"
