[Baypiggies] Motion | Andrew to speak on Scientific computing?

[jim]

   so far what we've got is tentative. this seems 
a good candidate for our november 19 meeting (the 
third, not the fourth thursday of november). 
   glen, can you run with this: is he really free 
to give this talk on that date? seems to me we 
like talks with code examples and techniques: what 
important modules are there, any caveats to their 
use? got code snippet examples?
