DESCRIPTION | Most doctoral students generate or measure data which they would like to analyse, process and visualize. Python is one of the easiest and widely used programming languages which allows reading and writing from files, and plotting data in very few lines of code. It is open-source (free) and runs on any operating system. This workshop will assume no prior experience with programming whatsoever, and will guide students to write their first Python script, process basic datasets, make plots and also fit the data in order to model it. Participants are encouraged to bring their own datasets to the workshop. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, the doctoral researcher should be able to: - write a basic script in Python; - make use of standard libraries such as numpy and matplotlib; - read and write data to and from a file; - visualize data using several plots; - fit the data in order to obtain a model. |
