Course description	This course will introduce students to collaborative computing environments such as GitHub, and to the etiquettes and practices which make for a successful programming venture. It will follow on the Research Computing course, and lay out a clearly defined task for the students to complete, using advanced research computing tools. Projects are envisioned to run, in rotation year to year, on: Lean computer-assisted theorem proving Machine learning in context of quantum field theory Quantum computing Computer algebra (Sage, GAP, Magma, etc) The precise syllabus for each year's instantiation of this course can be found on the CDT webpage http://www.agq-cdt.org
