Event Details

An intense 5-day course containing everything scientists and engineers would want to know about using Python for solving scientific problems. Taught by special guest, Mike Müller, founder of the Python Academy, this course gives an overview of important libraries commonly used for solving scientific and technical problems, techniques for connecting Python to existing code written in C, C++, or Fortran, and critical software engineering topics including testing and version control.

The course is subdivided into two major parts.  The first three days focus on usage of Python's scientific tools.  The last two days focus on software engineering topics including testing, distributed version control, and object oriented programming.  Major topics include:

  • Numerical calculations with numpy
  • Storage and processing of large-scale data
  • Plotting and visualization of data with matplotlib
  • Using Python's C-API
  • Extension building with Cython, ctypes, Swig, and f2py
  • Unit testing
  • Version control with Mercurial
  • Object oriented programming
  • Application integration
