The Computational Science Survival Guide

Free science with open source software

Introduction

If you end up here, you are probably involved with computer simulations of some sort. If you are about to spend hours in front of a computer, why not making it enjoyable? Why not getting rid of expensive, overkill, licensed software you do not need?
