2021 Bmad/Tao Internet School

[David Carl Sagan]

Hello Everyone:

Please forgive the somewhat off-topic email but I thought that this might be of interest to people. Below is the announcement for the 2021 Bmad/Tao internet school starting Nov. 1.

— Best, David

This is an announcement for the the 2021 Bmad/Tao Internet School.

An introductory course is being planned with more advanced instruction provided depending upon demand. The course format will be "reverse classroom" with students reading and doing exercises from the "Tutorial to Bmad and Tao" (https://www.classe.cornell.edu/bmad/manual.html) aided by the teachers with communication through Slack (mostly) and Zoom. The school will nominally take two weeks but there is no set deadline (the Slack Bmad workspace is available year round for questions and discussions). It is estimated that to finish in two weeks, course work will average about two hours per day but there is great flexibility since the course is self-paced. 

Starting date: Monday, November 1, 2021

Cost: There is no charge for this course.
