2026 AMS Summer Institute

This repository contains materials for the second week of the 2026 AMS Summer Institute. We will use this repository to share workshop materials, example files, notebooks, datasets, documentation, and other resources. You do not need to be an expert in GitHub, Git, or the terminal to use these materials. We will practice the basic workflow together.
