As part of the HPC.NRW training program, an introductory course in programming with Python is being offered. The course is aimed at participants who either have no programming experience or want to switch from another programming language to Python. It is particularly aimed at students, researchers, and scientists who want to learn scientific computing with Python, especially on HPC clusters.

The course will be held in a so-called “reverse hybrid” format: The lecturers will be connected virtually from the University of Bonn, while the participants will work on site at RWTH Aachen University together with supervising assistants. The course will be held in English.

Topics:

·       Running Python Code
·       Variables and Operators
·       Datatypes
·       Containers
·       if Statements
·       Loops
·       Functions
·       Packages and Modules
·       Numpy Arrays and Slicing
·       Packages and Modules
·       Errors and Debugging
·       Overview of Objects and Classes

The course is free of charge, but registration is required. Registration is via the event page.
