Introduction to Array Operations in Python#
This is a ~40 minute session to introduce you to array manipulation and basics of Python, which will be useful to contribute to computational open source libraries in Python. We have some specific aims in mind:
Understanding basics of arrays, lists and datatypes in Python
Using Python with Numpy
Motivating you to contribute to PyMC, and hopefully also to other open source libraries
This event is a part of a larger series of PyMC - Data Umbrella events, which are aimed at helping you contribute to PyMC (Open source library for Probabilistic Programming in Python)
Details#
Audience: people who don’t know Python but have some basic programming knowlege
All the content is available on this website, and you can run the code from the website to follow along with the webinar.
