Server Nodes
|
This page's purpose is to provide a gateway to a number of scientific software
web front-ends I keep running on my dedicated server for teaching and research purposes. At the moment you can gain access to a web-based R
(Statistics & Graphing) and a Python/Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib/Sympy server (general purpose maths/analysis), as well as PyMacLab and Sage. The general idea behind these server
nodes is that they allow anyone to carry out sophisticated analyses using web-based (like web2.0) tools. This helps me to distribute proofs of
concept and to devolve an exercise/tutorial platform to students. All they need is a browser-enabled computer with an internet connection and off
they go! All of the software servers are based on open-source software and are therefore free of charge !
While the R-server is a completely open system - thus far - both Femhub and Sage employ an authentication system. However,
with the current set-up any user who wants to give these environments a go can in principle create an account and do maths/plotting
within these server nodes...

R-Server |
|
This is the R Server. It is a web-based console to the Gnu R statistical
software suite which permits involved analyses and the plotting of graphs. Clicking on the right-hand side opens up the web-based
interactive GUI in which you can carry out your analysis online. The web-based GUI will open in a new window/tab. Be patient as it may take a few
seconds for the backend system to load !

Femhub |
|
This is the Femhub Python Server. It features a Python-based scientific environment with
all bells and whistles. In particular you have access to the Scipy libraries, matplotlib and Sympy for symbolic computation. The web-based
GUI will open in a new window/tab once you click on the link to the right of this text. Again, be patient as it may take a few seconds for the
backend system to fully load !

PyMacLab |
|
This is the PyMacLab Online Lab which is based on the great code from the
guys behind FEMhub. However, this is slightly differently branded as it is meant to be the online test platform for the Python Macroeconomics
Laboratory package which I have developed during my PhD. Also notice that this is directly accessible at
www.pymaclab.com. The point really of this environment is to show how researchers and students can be given access to an online
environment in which simple and easy-to-use scientific computing in macroeconomics is a real possibility !

Sage |
|
This is the Sage Python Server. It features a Python-based
scientific environment which includes a large set of other open-source productivity tools to do maths and plotting,
such as Maxima and matplotlib. As usual be patient when loading the GUI of this server applications
