This workshop series will provide a brief overview of Python programming and some research-useful Python packages. This course will not cover “how to program;" attendees are expected to have introductory-level experience in at least one other programming language.

The lessons in this course are interactive in nature. In order to particpate fully, you will need a laptop with a working Python installation and the following Python packages installed: NumPy, Matplotlib, H5Py.

The most straightforward way to install this software is via the Conda environment manager. Please refer to the software_installation.pdf file in this repository for instructions on installing Conda, Python, and the necesssary packages. If you need one-on-one help with the installation process, please drop by the optional installation session. Alternatively, feel free to send me an email, and we can set up a time to meet.
