importing functions

for, while, if, else, elif statements

variable types

was before that

print and input statements

we apparently covered break and continue, but I have never used it

those are useful

lists, arrays, both how they work, what you can do with them, etc

dicts?

not sure what that is

dictionaries

oh, no, never talked about that

it lets you use anything for the index instead of just numbers

reading an array from a file

thats a numpy thing

user defined functions

yeah, most of our work was with numpy

i'm using numpy right now

covered a bit of good coding practice stuff

such as naming variables, comments etc

then we changed gears and did graphs, density plots, hisograms,

we skipped the section in the textbook on 3d graphs

Then we talked about accuracy and speed

numerical error, inherent rounding error

floating point error

that

integrals and derivatives, did like 4 different techniques for integration and 2 or 3 for derivatives

and errors on both integrals and derivatives

so you went from learning programming to learning digital signal processing

basically yeah

this course is really just a "here is the shit you need to know for physics and nothing else" course

but not the fun dsp

then we did a bunch of shit that amounts to "use these packages to get functions to solve matricies and other linalg shit"

and talked nothing else about linalg

Did a bunch of nonlinar equation stuff

maximums, minimums, zeros of data

so you didn't talk about how and why numpy arrays are different from python arrays

then Des

and that is it

👉🏻 👌🏻

yes

We only really used numpy arrays

and lists

i guess python lists are what i meant

Oh

then no

we talked about that a lot

This course only has class 1 time a week

and 1 lab a week

so we did not cover much

yeah that covers basically nothing interesting

my left ear isn't working as well NotLikeThis

Physics applications basically

we got to chapter 8, skipping 7 and most of 5

in my textbook

chapter 9 is partial des, 10 is random numbers, and 11 is just a bunch of advanced applications

does your textbook talk about classes?

Maybe? No section on it

might mention it somewhere

I probably will read through and try to learn everyhing from this textbook over the summer, as well as take computational physics 2

as a course over the summer

you might as well go through this https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

understanding how everything works can only help you

Clicked it and already learned something usefull 2 seconds in

did you at least learn try and except?

nope

wow

thats something you actually should know

I will bookmark this page, will read through it when I have time

probably during winter break

Need to keep up with coding so I do not forget it by the summer, and then am screwed when I hit upper year courses and need it

I am glad I know how to code though tbh. It is kind of fun

not something I would ever want to do more than for fun or as a nessecity, but fun none the less

So what are you lot up to

trying to figure out why this data stream i thought was normalized between 0 and 1 isn't

Ah yes

I understand completely

i thought it was supposed to be the percent chance of that location being a member of a certain class
