The ANU Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering runs Summer Schools in January of each year. They are aimed at graduate students and run for 3 weeks. Registration is free.
The 1996 school on computational physics ran from 8 to 25 January. Lectures were accompanied by computer laboratories. Matlab, Mathematica, and Maple software will be available. Matlab is provided by Ceanet, Mathematica by Analytica, and Maple by SIR Ltd.
