Did you enjoy CBE 20258 (Numerical and Statistical Analysis)? Are you looking for a paid, flexible, remote position over the summer?
Prof. Dowling seeks to hire an ND undergraduate to help convert the current Python/Jupyter notebooks for CBE 20258 (hosted on Vocareum) into a public website. Here is a working prototype: https://ndcbe.github.io/cbe-xx258/
The new website will allow ND students, alumni, and others to better use the CBE 20258 notebooks as references in future classes, during internships, on the job, and in other endeavors. While Vocareum has many advances during the semester, accessing the notebooks after the semester ends is cumbersome.
This is a great paid opportunity to hone your Python and computing skills, holistically review all of the CBE 20258 content, and help Prof. Dowling keep improving CBE 20258.
