Aalto Scientific Computing and Nordic partners to stream free three-day Python course
A free intermediate-to-advanced online course on Python for scientific computing will run on Twitch from 24 to 26 November, co-organised by Aalto Scientific Computing, CodeRefinery and Nordic partners including the University of Iceland.
Why it matters: People with basic Python skills can follow the free course on Twitch without registering, while those wanting help and exercises are advised to register.
The University of Iceland announced that the online course Python for Scientific Computing will stream live on Twitch for three days, four hours a day, from Tuesday 24 November at 10:00 (08:00 Reykjavik time), with free access.
According to the announcement, the course is organised by Aalto Scientific Computing with CodeRefinery and other Nordic partners, among them KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the University of Oslo, NAISS, CSC, the University of Iceland, UPPMAX at Uppsala University, Nordic-RSE and the Finnish Reproducibility Network.
The course is pitched at intermediate to advanced level and will teach Python packages such as NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and Pandas to people who already have basic Python knowledge.
Anyone can watch on the CodeRefinery channel without registering, but registration through the course website is recommended for those who want to take an active part, get help and complete exercises.
