On 24th of this month, 4 of us 5th sem CSE students, i.e. me Himanshu, Shashank Shekhar, Vivek Maskara and Rohit Kumar attended SCILABS workshop at BVBCET, Hubli. First let me give an intro of SCILABS. It’s open-source software which eases and fastens mathematical operations to a huge extent. From matrix operations, plotting of graphs, integration, differentiation, it does it all. Our ENC friends study MATLABS as their course subject which is proprietary source to do the same job. About the workshop, first we were a bit disappointed as the event was postponed by an hour without prior information. But, then it began well. All of those teaching us were 7th sem ENC students of the college. The participants ranged from KLESCET, Belgaum, our college, and BVB itself of course. A break in between with complementary snacks seemed relaxing. Then at the end, there was a small competition where 2 mathematical problems have to be solved using Scilabs, and we performed fair. 2 students from our college won the second place. All in all, it was a nice experience. I hope much more workshops of this kind will be held at our college too.
Thanks.
