The MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment) framework simplifies the work necessary for a scientist or engineer to simulate complex multiphysics phenomena. An object-oriented approach, overlaying a robust nonlinear solution algorithm provides an approachable interface for solving sytems of partial differential equations. In addition, MOOSE is inherently parallel allowing for utilization of all those cores in a workstation... or all the cores in a supercomputer to speed up your calculation, all without requiring the user to know anything about parallel programming.
MOOSE is in use by hundreds of scientists and engineers all over the world where it's been eployed for nuclear reactor simulation, materials science, geothermal applications, fluid dynamics, chemistry and much more. In particular, MOOSE is already utilized by multiple research groups at MIT. MOOSE has recently received an R&D100 Award and Derek Gaston (the original creator of MOOSE) was also awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for developing the code.
This tutorial is being taught by Derek Gaston and will be a comprehensive, hands-on experience: teaching you everything that you need to create your very own multiphysics simulation tool.

The session will begin with a brief overview of MOOSE and a demonstration of the framework. This will be followed by an exploration of the mathematical concepts behind MOOSE. The day will end with a brief explanation of the datastructures in MOOSE and how to start / build / run MOOSE-based applications.
