DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nSummary: An introductory workshop to help you get star
 ted with basic programming concepts and the Python language. The course is
  built around a common scientific task: data analysis and visualisation. I
 t will get you up and running quickly with a programming language to do so
 mething useful. Python is an open source and freely available tool that is
  used widely in the scientific community.\n\n\nObjectives:\n\nWork with th
 e basic data types in Python (lists\, strings\, integers\, floating points
 \, etc)\nUse Numpy to read data files and handle multidimensional data\nUs
 e Matplotlib to visualise data\nRepeat tasks with for loops\nMake runtime 
 decisions with conditional statements\nWrite and use functions to modulari
 se your code\n\n\n\nAudience: This is for complete beginners who have no o
 r very little experience with Python and programming in general. If you ha
 ve used another programming language to perform useful work\, then it is l
 ikely you will not be served well by this course. Please see the learning 
 paths for how you might jump into Python better or progress with another l
 anguage.\n\n\nPrerequisites: Some previous experience with the Unix shell\
 , while not strictly mandatory\, is extremely helpful when taking this cou
 rse. The concepts around files and directories are particularly important.
  Please consider signing up to The Unix Shell (10231) as well.\n\n\nCourse
