This workshop is jointly organised by FOSSEE - an MHRD project at IITB, and UC College Aluva and funded by the "National Mission on Education through ICT”.<br /> Scientific research, especially in computationally intensive areas, typically requires a good grasp of the domain and a solid computer programming background. Given this context, we illustrate why it is important for scientists, academicians and engineers to learn a powerful, Free/Open Source Software, general purpose, scripting language and how Python fits this role very well.</p> <p><strong>Workshop Content:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Motivation, background and design philosophy.</li> <li>Basic data types: int, float and string</li> <li>Core data structures: lists, tuples and dictionaries</li> <li>Functions</li> <li>Tool chain</li> <li>Overview of the standard library</li> <li>Matplotlib</li> <li>NumPy</li> <li> Scipy</li> <li>3D plotting</li> <li>Debugging and testing</li> </ul> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:12:36 +0530 http://www.fossee.in/SD25_Conference <div class="start">Start: 09/08/2010 - 09:00</div> <div class="end">End: 12/08/2010 - 18:00</div> n/a Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:17:52 +0530
