Monday
  * Introductions
  * What is Scientific Computing?
  * Fundamentals //(I still don't care for this here.  Perhaps we could work it in with some relevance to the LCM machines? -K)//
    * Parallelism
    * Shared memory model
  * Historical context
  * The Living Computer Museum: visit and discussion
