Details:
Python has established itself as one of the most popular language amongst
scientific and engineering community. Big organization like Google, NASA and Nokia
etc. are using python for their core programming work. Thus python has become an
essential tool for scientists and engineers who wish to excel in their field.
This two day workshop will undertake various tutorial based sessions to teach basic
python using IPython notebooks and specialized packages like:
After learning these packages you can work as efficiently as with specialized
commercial softwares like MATLAB, Mathematica etc. for most of scientific and
engineering tasks. Python has extremely flat learning curve, has a rich library of
packages and being open-source, it an excellent choice for young developers.
Scientists and engineers, who work within the field of simulation, instrumentation
and data analysis has termed python as a one-stop alternative to numerous
commercial softwares for the same task. Natural science, mathematics and
engineering students find python as an essential tool for their studies where they
can make programs for various concepts for a reinforced learning and an added
asset for their CV during placements.
