Hi, I am going to India during this summer for a short visit. I plan to visit a few local colleges and give lectures on applications of computer technology in research in areas such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as well as Biological, Botanical and Geological Sciences. The main emphasis behind the presentations is to introduce computer aided innovative research techniques and how these techniques can facilitate the overall research process. As you must have noted the scope of these lectures seems to encompass a very wide and disparate range of fields. Hence I am trying to organize these lectures around a simplistic theme of 'Whats, Whys, and Hows of Computers' . I will then try to encase this with ideas and examples from applications in the above mentioned fields. My audience will consist mainly of graduate and undergraduate students who, I believe, have a very limited, and in some cases non-existent, exposure to computers. I need help from the scientific community here in gathering material for these lectures. I am a Computer Scientist by profession and hence I think I can deal with the technical aspects of computers. However, my exposure to applications in many areas is limited and quite inadequate for the purposes mentioned above. Also, I want to present some very simple and yet innovative applications. I hope to arouse a few curious minds through these examples. Hence, I would like a few examples of applications that are simple and interesting and illustrate some research methodology. Any references, description of examples, or pointers to literature should suffice. Please respond to the electronic and US mail addresses given below. I will try to recapitulate the information that I receive on the net if there is interest. Thank you all for the help..
