This is a condensed introduction to Python and Spyder. We have aimed to provide you with the basic information you need to tackle statistics and machine learning. It is a big task to learn a programming language especially if you have no experience. You will not be fluent in Python by the end of this session, but hopefully you will be off to a good start.
By the end of this workshop, students will know how to:
- Navigate Spyder, install packages, and manage projects.
- Handle variables and data structures (arrays, lists, and data frames).
- Impliment flow control.
- Create functions.
- Plot graphics.
Prerequisites
- Participants need to have complete pre-worksheet to ensure all the software and packages needed for this course are installed.
- Participants understanding file management on their operating system.
