Python is a versatile programming language with many open-source packages for different applications. Even scientists using MATLAB for complex tasks are shifting toward Python. This course focuses on MATLAB users learning Python.

First, you’ll be introduced to MATLAB and Python’s key differences and similarities. You’ll learn the fundamentals of Python syntax and data types and structures, particularly lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples. You’ll learn the control flow of programs, functions, and file handling. You’ll learn about NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn packages. You’ll learn different Python operators and how to store, manipulate, and visualize data. You’ll also get hands-on experience with three practice challenges at the end of the course. The course also discusses the Zen of Python.

After completing this course, you can program in Python and embark on any advanced Python, data science, or machine learning course.
