This tutorial is a 1.5 hour tutorial introducing NumPy and Matplotlib, two of the fundamental libraries for doing numerical scientific computing in Python.
The tutorial will use Python 3.x, though I've made an effort to make it compatible with Python 2.x as well. This tutorial requires the following packages to be intstalled:
If you do not yet have these packages installed, I highly recommend the Anaconda installer, which works on OSX, Linux, or PC.
