Scientific computation

During my engineer studies at E.N.S.T.A. and my Phd, still at E.N.S.T.A., I learned some softwares and programming languages, with more or less ease to find clear enough guides. This is the reason why, I offer you some docs of my own that, I hope, will enable you to start.

• A SCILAB documentation
• A SCILAB tutorial that needs the file generatrices.txt. This is the whole archive of the tutorial, with the solution.
• A MATLAB documentation
• A MATLAB tutorial that needs the file generatrices.txt. This is the whole archive of the tutorial, with the solution.
• A Gnuplot 4.0 documentation.
• A Freefem++ documentation.
• A EMC2 tutorial.
• A GMSH tutorial and a first start.
• A FORTRAN 90 documentation.
• A MPI documentation.
• A UNIX documentation.
• A Makefile documentation.
• To learn Tcl/Tk, Maurice Diamantini's webpage

LaTeX

• To start, Marc Baudoin's doc
• The University of Lille 3 FAQ
• Tips and tricks on Texnik.de
• To some layout styles, Vincent Zoonekynd's webpage
• Benjamin Bayart's "Joli Manuel"

Web development

This is some useful links to learn HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, ...

• w3schools
• selfhtml
• A PHP/MySQL tutorial (coming soon).
