LAB01 - Introduction To Python PDF

This document is about a numerical methods laboratory activity that introduces Python and Jupyter. It discusses installing Anaconda to get Python and Jupyter, and provides some basic code examples to use in Jupyter, including printing text, working with arrays, arithmetic operations, conditional statements, and tuples. It concludes with three problems to solve involving calculating parallel resistances, statistics of data sets, and an engineering application.

Activity No Score
01 Introduction to Python and Jupyter 30 points

I. Introduction

This lab uses Anaconda , a Python distribution with built


in packages such as numpy, matplotlib and sympy.

To install Anaconda, download the latest version from the


link below and follow the installation instructions.

https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/

Installing Anaconda also installs Jupyter. Jupyter is a


browser based IDE with interactive input and output.

Open Jupyter by clicking the icon similar to the one


below.

In this lab, try the following code examples to get you


started with Python and Jupyter.

II. Examples

1. Hello World

print("Hello, World!")

2. Arrays
>> cars = ["Ford", "Volvo", "BMW"]
>> x = cars[0]
>> x = len(cars)

3. Arithmetic
a= 21
b = 10
c = 0

c = a + b
print "Line 1 - Value of c is ", c

c = a - b
print "Line 2 - Value of c is ", c

c = a * b
print "Line 3 - Value of c is ", c

c = a / b
print "Line 4 - Value of c is ", c

c = a % b
print "Line 5 - Value of c is ", c

a = 2
b = 3
c = a**b
print "Line 6 - Value of c is ", c

a = 10
b = 5
c = a//b
print "Line 7 - Value of c is ", c

4. Conditonal Statements

If else

var1 = 100
if var1:
print "1 - Got a true expression value"
print var1
else:
print "1 - Got a false expression value"
print var1

var2 = 0
if var2:
print "2 - Got a true expression value"
print var2
else:
print "2 - Got a false expression value"
print var2

print "Good bye!"

5. Tuples

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")


print(thistuple)

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")


print(thistuple[1])

III. Problems

1. Write a Python code that calculates the total


resistance of 3 resistors in parallel.

2. Write a python code that calculates the mean and


standard deviation of a given set of data.

3. Develop a simple python application to solve an


engineering problem.
