Hello Bmad School Students!
First some gentle reminders:
1) If you have not already done so, please sign up on the Bmad SLACK workspace [See https://indico.classe.cornell.edu/event/2068/ for link].
2) Please try to have Tao running on your laptop before the school starts. If you need help with this, either post a message on the Bmad SLACK workspace or contact one of the teachers.
================================================
To give the teachers a better idea in terms of structuring the School, below is a short questionnaire. Please fill this out and return to me.
                -- Cheers, David Sagan
1) Are you going to attend all three days (Friday through Sunday)?
2) Are familiar with basic accelerator concepts such as what the beta function is?
3) What OS does your laptop run?
4) Have you used simulation programs like MAD, Elegant, or Tao?
5) In particular, have you used Tao? [Scale [0, 5] with 0 = Not at all, 5 = Regularly]
6) Have you gone over any material in the Bmad/Tao tutorial? [Scale [0, 5] with 0 = Not at all, 5 = All of it]
7) Is there anything in particular you would like the class to cover? [For example: Basic concepts, how to construct an ERL lattice, how to program with Bmad, etc.]
8) Any comments for the teachers that could help the instruction?
