This tutorial serves as an introduction to the Python language, Taylored (haha) towards physics students. Topics covered include basic syntax, datatypes, functions, loops and conditionals, working with directories, and reading/ writing data. Basic features of the numpy and matplotlib libraries are also introduced, most notably the numpy array datatype and basic plotting functions. No previous programming experience is needed!

This tutorial covers more advanced topics in Python especially relevant for physics. These include curve-fitting using scipy, advanced plotting techniques (how to make your graphs look nice), basic symbolic mathematics using sympy, and Fourier transforms and FFTs. This session will only require as background the information discussed in our first tutorial.
