L T P C Continuous Internal Assessment End Exam Total

This document outlines a course on scientific programming with Python. The course introduces Python fundamentals like variables, data types, operators and control structures. It covers functions, modules, packages, exceptions and object-oriented programming concepts. Students will learn to perform file input/output and plotting with Matplotlib. Key scientific Python packages like NumPy for numerical computing and SciPy for scientific computing are also introduced. The goal is for students to develop general scientific programming skills through these Python packages. Assessment includes sessional and end exams with questions from each unit covering the concepts taught.

Question Paper Pattern:
Sessional Exam
The question paper for Sessional examination is for 30 marks, covering half of the syllabus for first
Sessional and remaining half for second Sessional exam. Question No1which carries 6 marks contains
three short answer questions of two marks each. The remaining three questions shall be EITHER/OR type
questions carrying 8 marks each.
End Exam
Question Paper Contains Six Questions. Question 1 contains 5 short Answer questions each of 2marks.
(Total 10 marks) covering one question from each unit. The remaining five questions shall be
EITHER/OR type questions carrying 10 marks each. Each of these questions is from one unit and may
contain sub-questions .i.e. there will be two questions from each unit and the student should answer any
one question.

Note:
1. Python IDLE, Ipython notebook tools can be used to develop programs in UNIT-1 & UNIT-5.
2. Scope for develop type questions for assignment from UNIT-V
