Getting Set Up with Matplotlib

Explore how to set up Matplotlib and NumPy to graph dynamic pressure in a rocket launch scenario. This lesson guides you through generating time increments, calculating necessary physics values, and plotting results effectively using Python.

We'll cover the following...

- Writing functions
- Setting up the code

Here are the two libraries that you will be using:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Numpy will be used below to generate ranges of values for this tutorial in 0.5-second increments and perform exponential calculations. The built-in range() function used in FizzBuzz could very easily be used in Numpy’s place to generate a range of numbers. The built-in ...
