Python for Scientific Computing

This is a medium-advanced course in Python tools such as NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas provided by Aalto Scientific Computing and open for anyone. It is suitable for people who know basic Python and want to understand some internals and important libraries for science – basically, how a typical scientist actually uses Python.

Prerequisites

• Knowing basic Python syntax. We assume that you can do some Python programming, but not much more that that. We don’t cover standard Python programming. Refresher on basic Python syntax.
• Watch or read the command line crash course, if you aren’t familiar.
• You should be able to use a text editor to edit files some.
• The software installation.

This is an online course streamed via Twitch (CodeRefinery channel ) so that anyone may follow along without registration. You do not need a Twitch account. There is a collaborative notes link which is used for asking questions during the course. The actual material and schedule is at https://scicomp.aalto.fi/training/scip/python-for-scicomp-2025/.

While the stream is available even without providing personal data, if you register you may get collaborative notes access for asking questions and will support continued funding by contributing to the attendance statistics.
