Description

The objective of this course is to give you the opportunity to discover the python modules commonly used in physics and chemistry. The course is a core course for L3. It is therefore aimed at both students with a good background in computer science and beginners. The lectures are organized into 20 30-minutes session. The 15 first ones cover the simplest concepts of algorithmic and the basics of Python (loops, lists, strings, regular expressions ...). The 5 last are a deep dive into the most common Python module used in Sciences : numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas, sympy, scikit-learn, etc. All the lecture are online so students can do them at their own pace. Practicals are organized in 10 90-minutes sessions with one specific exercise per session. The 5 first practical are more on numerical computation (stochastic and deterministic methods to evaluate an area, integration and derivation, differential equations, resolution of a set of linear equations, stochastic simulation) while the 5 last are more on data processing (data importation and exportation, curve fitting, string parsing, statistics, machine learning, data mining).
