INTRODUCTION TO NUMPY

In this course you will learn how to use NumPy, which is a popular data science library.  You will code along with me and learn:

- what NumPy is and how to install it

- how to use data and array types in NumPy

- how to do arithmetic, statistics, trigonometry and complex numbers in NumPy

- what 1, 2 and 3 dimensional NumPy arrays are

- how to index, find and order elements in NumPy

When you have watched the videos you can practice your new skills with the workbooks.

This course contains 16 video tutorials with over 60 minutes of videos and downloadable 3 and printable workbooks.  On average it takes around 4.5 hours to fully complete. When you buy a course you get an email with the link and password to the course. All you need to do is go to the relevant web page and type in the password. You will then have unlimited access to the course for one month.

This course is suitable for people who have Python programming skills including understanding how to use and manipulate numerical data, strings, Booleans, lists, tuples and ranges.  You should be comfortable with the programming fundamentals of if, elif and else statements, for and while loops and functions.  Be able to plot scatter, line, histograms and pie charts in Matplotlib, and how to choose which graph to use.  

To get the full benefit from this course you will need to be comfortable with the following skills: 

- complete the Set Up Python course https://swamphen.co.uk/set-up-python   

- have a good foundation in Python programming 

- how to define and manipulate numerical data types, strings and Booleans

- how to set up, slice, order, add, append and alter mutable sequences lists, lists of lists, immutable sequences tuples and ranges

- how to write and use functions with Python data, loops and control flow

- how to choose the correct graph to use and produce bespoke graphs of different types, including line, scatter, histogram, pie chart

You can get these skills from Swamphen Enterprise's previous courses at www.swamphen.co.uk/python-series-information and www.swamphen.co.uk/graph-plotting-series-information.  Our courses follow a structured learning progression to help you on your journey.
