I look a computational physics course once, that I ended up not finishing (burn out), that used Python. More recently, I took another course on data analysis with Python. My interests in Python are possibly somewhat obscure, but I'll include here some things that interested me in particular, things I wanted to share, and maybe I'll add more later. The initial stuff will probably have a strong relationship to the math courses I teach. The data course I took was something of a baptism by fire, so I'm still processing it. Since then, I took two more courses that used Python, so feeling a bit better about it. Will keeping adding resources as I go. You may find more information on Python for Machine Learning on my Machine Learning page, and for Spark/Hadoop on that corresponding page. I've added more Python-related goals to my to-do list, so more things coming.

I taught a data science course that used Python. I'm adding links to those code examples used in class as well. I'll link to the main course page so that you can also use the data.

See the main page for data sets used. These are just code examples without much in the way of explanation since these were done live in class. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to post the videos I saved from the lectures.
