Overview

Geared for data scientists and engineers with potentially light practical programming background or experience, this course provides a ramp-up to using Python for scientific and mathematical computing. Students will explore basic Python scripting and concepts, and then move to the most important Python modules for working with data, from arrays to statistics to plotting results. Throughout the course you will learn to write essential Python scripts
and apply them within a scientific framework working with the latest technologies.
