Introduction to Python

This is not meant to be an full introduction to Python but rather a peek into some topics that are relevant for the goals of the curse in total. In order to better understand the material in the two subsections and for the exercises we recommend having a look at following online resources:

• A Byte of Python for a basic introduction to Python. Especially the chapters beginning with About Python up to Problem Solving.

• Matplotlib tutorial for an introduction to plotting-

• Python for Beginners has a very nice section about list comprehensions.

The actual sections can be found here:

1. NumpPy
