Python for Physicists

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Python for Physicists
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. find and use the appropriate Python packages and commands to analytically or numerically solve simple problems; 2. develop a simple algorithm in Python to solve simple numerical problems, can implement this in a program and is able to debug this program until it works; 3. translate a real-world problem into a problem that can be solved with the use of a computer; 4. present the code in a electronic notebook in a clear and comprehensive manner, so that peers and teaching assistants can understand the program; 5. interpret a peer's notebook, assess whether the appropriate methods were used to solve the given problems and give adequate feedback.
Omschrijving	In this course the student learns to solve problems with the use of Python. Python is a widely used programming language, both in academia and industry. In this course we will focus on solving physics related problems, and on presenting the solution in a notebook. People working in academia and industry are invited to give guest lectures; some problems will be related to their field of interest.
