While it is easy for beginners to learn, it is widely used in many scientific areas for data exploration. This course is an introduction to the Python programming language for students without prior programming experience. Data types, control flow and introduction to the analysis of program performance are covered. Real-world data from various areas are used as examples to demonstrate how to process and analyze these data with Python.
