Be ready to interact with your fellow participants, TAs, and lecturers. Bill Paxton, MESA’s First Author, will have a ubiquitous presence. An integral part of a Summer School is MESA oriented Labs designed to generate interactions. This is not a passive, slide-deck oriented, summer school!
Expectations:
Bring your laptop as we only provide internet access. Be familiar with installing MESA and setting up your own MESA work directories.
You must have MESA version 7624 installed.
Some Labs use basic Fortran coding; do loops and if-then structures.
You should be fine if you’ve coded before in almost any language.
Collaboration venues include our Summer School Facebook page and the mesa-users@lists.sourceforge.net email list.
Lecture and Lab materials are posted here.
A Google Doc and Sheet for use during the Labs.
