Class is now done.  My last final exam was yesterday. More than any previous semester, I used a wide variety of computing tools to finish my work in class.  Here are a few of the ones I put to use:

1. Weka, an open source machine-learning workbench (I used it in bioinformatics but it is a general-purpose tool that could be applied to any field).
2. UCSC Genome Browser, NCBI, RCSB Protein Data Bank, for making sense of genetic data.
3. Matlab, a non-free tool for writing math-intensive software (I used it to run Charles Kemp’s “Discovery of Structural Form” code… very neat work.)
4. OpenMP, Open MPI and CUDA for writing parallel code in C.
5. OpenGL for writing a 3D game for graphics class.
6. Wings3D for creating 3D meshes for my game.
7. The open-source R Project for statistical analysis of data.  I also used it for my Stats 221 class.
Posted for future reference :)
