Python Programming Bootcamp for Scientists (The Course)
Course Info
This course includes 1 attempt.
The course was originally created for students at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel and was taught a couple of times in a class-room till the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then it was taught once via Zoom and then it was recorded with the help of a student from the UK.
It includes a lot of presentations and questions asked by the student who was present during the recording of the videos. (She is a very clever one.) It also includes discussions about the solutions to many of the exercises given during the course.
Besides the videos you'll also get access to all the slides and all the examples.
