| DESCRIPTION | Most doctoral researchers generate or measure data in their research which they would like to analyse, process and visualise. Python is one of the easiest and widely used programming languages which allows reading and writing from files, and plotting data in very few lines of code. It is open-source (free) and runs on any operating system. This workshop will assume no prior experience with programming whatsoever, and will guide researchers to write their first Python script, process basic datasets, and visualise the data. OUTCOMES By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should be able to: - write a basic script in Python; - make use of standard libraries, such as NumPy, pandas and matplotlib; - make use of basic data structures; - perform numerical operations on data; - read and write data to and from a file; - visualise data using several plots. |
