Now that you are an expert at using arrays, let’s use them to start working with and visualizing our data! In this tutorial you will use arrays to store and plot data. Download the Jupyter notebook for this tutorial here: Tutorial4_ArrayIndexing_part3.pynb
Need to go beyond x and y data? For example, do you have a sensor that records time series of multiple parameter? Or maybe you want to work with image files? Perhaps at some point you want to write your own computer simulations? For all of these you will need to understand how to work … Read more
We often collect data as series of x and y values. Time series data where a specific observation is made on a regular time interval (such as on a water level logger) or measurements taken along a spatial transect (such as an elevation profile) are good examples. We have already learned that numbers can be … Read more
Do you work with data that requires you to plot a similar graph over and over again? Rather than having to make this from scratch every time, wouldn’t it be easier if you could just give you data to a function that would automatically create the graph of that data set for you? Now you … Read more
In this tutorial you will learn about how functions can be used to perform calculations. The main focus is on understanding how functions work and how to use existing functions. Goal: create a plot of a mathematical function such as y = sin(x)*sin(x/2) Download the Jupyter notebook for this tutorial here: Tutorial3_Functions_Part1.pynb
Tutorial 2 – Variables In this tutorial you will learn about variables as a way to store and utilize data. Download the tutorial file here: Tutorial2_Variables.ipynb
Welcome! This series of tutorials is meant to introduce you to how to get things done with Python even if you don’t have any prior experience or think programming is not for you! We take a step by step approach where you can work through problems as you learn with a focus on “what you … Read more
