Python for the Sciences

Prerequisite: CSCI 1611 or equivalent course or permission of instructor; and MATH 1140 or MATH 1150 or equivalent placement.

The goal of this course is to develop Python programming competency for students in the Sciences and Engineering. Students will learn to write code using the basic constructs of selection, looping, functions, and list handling. They will work with key packages to support scientific computing: numpy, scipy, and plotting libraries. Other libraries will be explored in projects tailored to specific domains of student interest.
