A few of the students are now comfortable with it, but most are= still novices, even the computationally savvy members of my team. For now= I am forcing everybody to use org as a latex replacement no babel or beame= r yet. However, In the fall I will mandate that all data analysis (matlab b= abel) should be included with all manuscripts. I notice that you prefer to = use python rather than matlab. Is there a reason for this ? Matlab is free= at my institution so cost is not an issue. I welcome any advise or tips you may have=20 Best Wishes, M On Jul 9, 2014, at 3:08 PM, John Kitchin wrote: > That is great! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.
