Introduction to Python: Basic Python, pandas, Matplotlib

14 Aug 2023, 09:00 → 24 Aug 2023, 16:00 Europe/Berlin

The Zoom room will be communicated before the first lecture. (Online)

Anas Samara (University of Bethlehem), Sherin Hazboun (University of Bethlehem), Thorsten Auth (Forschungszentrum Jülich)

Powered by the University of Bethlehem and Forschungszentrum Jülich, this three-day course offered by the Palestinian-German Science Bridge (PGSB) will provide lectures and hands-on exercises for Python. The exercises will allow participants to check their learning progress and provide opportunities to gather experience. All interested colleagues on the PI/supervisor/postdoc level--also those that have not yet participated in the PGSG--are invited to take part.

The course covers the skills that participants will require for participating in the PGSB course and workshop on machine learning. In case of overbooking, colleagues that are a member of the PGSB and that will also participate in our machine learning course will be preferentially admitted.

Prerequisites: Previous programming experience is not required.

Timetable: The schedule may be adjusted to meet the needs of the participants. Please note the time shift between Germany and Palestine!
